Osteopaths are musculoskeletal experts and are primary healthcare practitioners. This means they can be the first point of contact to the general public for healthcare concerns. Osteopaths are trained to assess, diagnose and treat conditions, tailor make personal treatment plans to optimise recovery and use a mixture of hands on techniques and exercise prescription to return patients to full function.
Techniques used include; joint mobilisation, stretching, soft tissue massage and joint manipulations. Treatments vary patient to patient depending on what is needed to enhance recovery. Treatment is often utilised alongside exercise and advice designed to help patients relieve or manage pain, keep active and maintain optimal health. Osteopathic care is suitable for people of all ages from babies to the elderly.
People from a wide range of backgrounds seek osteopathic treatment, whether elite or recreational sports people, pregnant women, manual workers or office professionals. Osteopaths also work closely with other healthcare professionals in a variety of fields, and provide onward referral if required.
