An Osteopath focuses on the cause of your problem and not just the treatment of your symptoms. Everyone is unique, and you can be assured that we will treat you so. We listen closely, examine, then explain our diagnosis and recommendations in a clear simple manner, offering treatment that's right for you. Osteopathy is an established and recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. Osteopathy is distinct because it recognises that much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities and weaknesses in the structure of the body in addition to damage caused to it by disease. Osteopaths use many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Osteopathy's main strength lies in the unique way in which the practitioner assesses the patient from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and in the manual methods of treatment applied to suit the needs of the individual.
