Osteopaths believe that problems with the way bones, muscles and joints fit and work together can affect all other parts of the body. We believe Osteopathy treatments allow the body to heal itself. Osteopaths use a range of techniques but do not use drugs or surgery.
Most people who see an osteopath do so for help with back pain or other problems related to muscles and joints.
Osteopathy is a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM), and is different from conventional western medicine.
As a result osteopathy is a perfect treatment from the very young to the elderly, including pregnant women, office professionals, manual workers and athletes.
