Osteopathy can help with a range of conditions when the cause is mechanical or soft tissue in origin. Other conditions not normally considered as having a mechanical cause may also respond to osteopathic treatment. Through massage, movement and manipulation, your Osteopath will work to rebalance the structure and function of the body, not simply treating the presenting problem but looking holistically at all the factors that have contributed towards your symptoms. Treatment will aim to relieve pain, improve function and promote healing. It will also help to reduce the likelihood of the problem recurring. Your osteopath will explain their findings to you, so you can understand why your body has not been healing of its own accord.
