What is Osteopathy?
Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners, and all osteopaths are statutorily regulated (Osteopath Act 1993) and by law must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council. www.osteopathy.org.uk
Osteopaths primarily work through the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, mostly on muscles and joints
Osteopathy is a patient centred whole-body approach to healthcare that recognizes the importance of the relationship between the structure of the body and the way it functions.
The key tools for osteopathic diagnosis include listening to the patient’s case history, clinical and orthopaedic examination of muscles and joints, postural analysis, observation of movement patterns, neurological examinations, muscle testing, X-rays, scans, and other clinical investigations are also used if required.
Osteopathic practitioners use palpation and a wide range of manual techniques to influence muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissue, circulation and internal organs to support the body’s ability of restoring and maintaining health.
