Osteopathy is used to detect, treat and prevent health problems through gentle stretching, mobilising techniques and the manipulation of joints. Although many perceive Osteopaths as back specialists, the variety of treatments that sit within Osteopathy mean that it can be used to treat many neuromusculoskeletal problems.
Our Osteopaths use a combination of therapeutic techniques and hands-on practices to achieve the best possible pain relief and recovery results.

Articulation: Joints and structures moved through their natural range of movements
Soft tissue techniques: Muscular and specific massage

Becoming an Osteopath takes around 4-5 years of medical training, a similar amount of time to complete a medical degree. Osteopathy training focusses on the understanding of the anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine techniques.
During osteopathy training, they teach 3 types of approach; structural (bones and muscles), visceral (treatment of internal organs) and Cranial (a gentler approach). Throughout their training, osteopathy students will typically spend over 1000 hours learning about and practising these osteopathic techniques.
