Enhancing Physical Function and Balance
Osteopathy supports and promotes the body’s remarkable abilities for self healing and self regulation. It can be applied to almost anything and anyone to facilitate optimal health and wellbeing.
How it works
Osteopathy examines the biomechanics and dynamic balance of movement in everyday life and during physical activities. It utilises techniques, including a subtle cranial sacral approach, to balance the internal mechanisms of fluids and tissues. Each session begins with a comprehensive initial consultation to understand the patient’s goals for treatment. The Practitioner will then develop a tailored treatment plan, ensuring that the patient is actively involved and comfortable throughout the process.
FAQs
What should I wear for an Osteopathy treatment?
Patients are advised to wear loose, light clothing, such as a T-shirt and shorts or leggings. It may be necessary to remove the top to allow the Practitioner to adequately assess posture and palpate tissues.
How frequently should I attend an Osteopathy session?
Treatment frequency varies based on symptoms and their duration. For instance, a simple back sprain may require two treatments, while chronic conditions such as disc problems may necessitate up to ten sessions. Individual factors such as age, overall health, and stress levels can also influence the healing process.
What conditions can osteopathy address?
Osteopathy can benefit anyone experiencing aches and pains, with common conditions including back pain, neck pain, pelvic pain, headaches, abdominal pain, and shoulder pain.
How should I prepare for an Osteopathy treatment?
Patients are encouraged to bring an updated list of any medications they are taking. If available, scan or X-ray reports can also be useful for the Practitioner during assessment.
