What is Osteopathy?

 

Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. It is distinctive in the fact that it recognises much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused by disease.

 

Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures involved in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Its main strength, however, lies in the unique way the patient is assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and the manual methods of treatment applied to suit the needs of the individual patient.


What is Cranial Osteopahty?


Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle manipulative
pressure to encourage the release of stress throughout the body, including the head. It is extremely effective
in treating a wide range of conditions in people of all ages, from birth to old age.

 

WHY IS CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY DIFFERENT?

In their training, Osteopaths are taught a variety of treatment methods and techniques, ranging from the well known "high velocity thrust" with it's dramatic clicks, to the very gentle, applied methods used by so called "Cranial Osteopaths".


Osteopaths may have different specialties including sports injuries, pediatrics, visceral and Cranial Osteopathy embraces on all of these.
