Osteopathy is a holistic treatment that treats the body as a unit. Osteopaths look beyond just the site of pain to all other joints and tissues surrounding the area of dysfunction to make sure you get a complete treatment. Issues in one area can influence another.
They can use a variety of modalities, including soft tissue massage, joint manipulation and articulation and dry needling to support and enhance the natural healing process of the body. By treating the body as a whole, osteopathy addresses the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than just the symptoms, and each treatment plan is tailored to the individual needs of the patient, considering their unique health history and lifestyle.
In conjunction with hands-on treatment, there is an abundance of detailed educational advice around exercise rehabilitation and ergonomics which is crucial for the long-term prevention of issues. Osteopaths provide advice on proper body mechanics and ergonomics to help patients avoid strain and injury in their day. This can include guidance on posture, lifting techniques, workstation setup, and more.The aim is to give patients the knowledge they need to prevent these aches and pains from reoccurring and take control of their own health. Patients receive tailored exercise programs designed to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall physical function. These exercises are intended to support recovery and prevent recurrence of pain.
Osteopaths use a variety of beneficial techniques such as soft tissue work to relieve tension and improve circulation. Joint manipulation and articulation to improve the range of motion and function of the joints. Dry needling to target trigger points to help ease muscular tension and cranial osteopathy which uses gentle manipulation to affect the entire body. Osteopaths may also provide broader health advice, including tips on nutrition, stress management, and general wellness practices to support overall health. The focus on overall health and well-being encourages patients to adopt healthier lifestyles and take an active role in their health management.
