As osteopathy is uniquely holistic, looking at the whole body in unison, osteopaths do not solely treat the ‘problematic’ area, but consider and treat the whole body, balancing out all of the systems within it. This approach is aimed at providing better overall health and wellbeing.
It is suitable for almost everyone and can be used to contribute to treatment and management of a wide range of conditions. Osteopaths utilise a patient-centred holistic view that focuses on working with the body’s own health by treating the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, looking at the person’s frame, joints, spine, muscles and ligaments. The aim of this is to positively affect a person’s biomechanics, circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems.
