Osteopathy 

The skillset of osteopaths is gained from a 4 year full time degree covering anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and neurology along with learning an array of specific manipulative techniques. 

Osteopathy has its roots in America in 1874 by Dr Andrew Taylor Still and takes a whole body holistic approach to healthcare.

Osteopaths use a wide range of non invasive manual therapy techniques which focus on the skeleton and joint function together with muscles, soft tissues and internal organs. Some techniques used during a treatment may include joint mobilisations, muscle energy technique, trigger point release, Cranio Sacral therapy, myofascial release, and high velocity thrusts in order to offer relief from a range of disorders with the aim of treating the whole person by finding the root cause and not just treating the symptoms.
