Many other conditions involving neck, back, arms and legs.
What Can I Expect When I Visit?
When you first visit us a full
case history will be taken and you will be given an examination. You may be
asked to remove some of your clothing and to perform simple movements. The
osteopath will then use touch to identify points of weakness or excessive strain
throughout the body.
How Does An Osteopath Work?
Osteopaths work
with their hands using a wide variety of treatment techniques. These include
soft tissue massage, rhythmic passive joint mobilisation or manipulation to
improve the mobility of a join. Gentle release techniques are widely used,
particularly when treating children or elderly patients. This allows the body to
return to its efficient normal function.
