Osteopath At Home

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.

Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to facilitate your body's own healing mechanisms. They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

Your tissues require both a good blood and nerve supply to remain healthy. Osteopathic treatment seeks to improve the circulation of blood and ensure that nerves are not impinged as they leave the spinal column and travel throughout the body. This approach can accelerate healing, alleviate your symptoms and help promote long term health.
