What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a dynamic, manual therapy that emphasizes the importance of the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments) and the relationship between the musculoskeletal system and other body systems. This is how osteopaths are able to successfully treat complaints such as reflux, nausea ear infections and so on.
What should I expect?
Your first visit takes approximately 1 hour where your osteopath will spend time talking with you about the symptoms you are experiencing and your health history. Your osteopath will reach a diagnosis based on your case history and a structural assessment this is then followed by treatment. Your osteopath will discuss with you your prognosis, your personalised treatment plan and an estimated number of treatments required.
