Osteopathy takes a holistic approach to treating pain, so that you can get back to the things you love! We harness your body’s natural ability to heal itself, using hands-on manual techniques such as soft or deep tissue, joint mobilisation and stretching of muscles. The Four Principles of Osteopathy that we follow include:

1) The body is a unit

The body is considered as a whole. Each part affects each and every other part and the whole is greater than simply the sum of its parts. In other words, the knee bone is connected to the hip bone which is connected to the, lymphatic, blood and nervous system.  What effects are your activities, lifestyle, beliefs and social setup having on your healing?

2) Structure governs function

If the structure of the body is compromised (for example through injury, overuse, strain, etc.), then it is very likely to have an adverse affect on its function (for example manifesting as pain, stiffness, instability, etc.). How is your overall posture affecting your functional capabilities?

3) The body is its own ‘Medicine Chest’

Every person has their own built in healing mechanisms, which can be stimulated and supported by removing restrictive barriers. What barriers can we remove, to improve your self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance?

4) The ‘Rule of the Artery’ is supreme

For healing to occur there needs to be a good enough blood supply to provide the troubled area with the necessary immune cells and nutrients. Can you keep a check on your overall posture (as this may have real effects on nerve and blood supply and lymphatic drainage)?
