Osteopaths have a holistic approach and believe that your whole body will
work well if your body is in good structural balance. Osteopathic treatment
does not target symptoms only but treats the parts of the body that have
caused the symptoms.
Before treatment we will give you a thorough medical assessment. This will
include discussion of your lifestyle and diet as well as a full postural
assessment. It may be necessary to test your blood pressure, reflexes and
urine. Detailed medical history helps the osteopath spot any problems that
are unsuitable for osteopathic treatment so they can refer you to a doctor
if appropriate.
Treatments may vary greatly depending on your age, your physical condition
and the severity of the pain. Usually treatment consists of massage together
with manipulation as well as basic exercises and advice.
