What Is Osteopathy
An alternative health practice named osteopathy is based on the concept of protecting one’s health by focusing on moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints. It is grounded in the idea that the body’s structure and function are closely related — if the body is aligned correctly, it can heal itself more effectively. As Osteopaths, we rely on soft tissue and joint manipulations, but also apply healthy lifestyle techniques to help restore mobility, reduce pain and promote the body’s ability to heal itself without drugs or surgery.

FAQ
Osteopathy is a type of alternative therapy that first uses the hands to correct structural integrity and then improves overall health. It enables the body to heal itself, naturally, without drugs or surgery.
While all three attempt to address movement and pain, osteopathy tends to be more holistic — treating not just a single area that’s in distress but the body as a whole. Chiropractors work primarily on adjustments of the spinal column, whilst physiotherapists employ exercise and rehabilitation.
Osteopathy may help with back and neck pain, joint stiffness and sports injuries, postural problems, tension headaches, arthritis or chronic pain. It may also be helpful for recovery from accidents or surgery.
Yes. Osteopathy is a gentle and non-invasive method that is entirely safe for everyone, regardless of age. An osteopath will always choose the most suitable approach for you, considering your medical history.
On your first visit, the osteopath will ask you about your symptoms and medical history in detail. Then, using gentle and soft-knuckled manual techniques, such as stretching, massage, and joint manipulation, they will restore your movement and help you find balance.
The answer depends on the specific treatment, the level of your issue, and your body functions. People usually feel better after 2-4 sessions. However, more severe conditions require long-lasting treatment.
