It’s a common misconception that Osteopaths only treat bones and backs. Likely due to the Greek translation for "osteo" meaning bone and "path" meaning disease. On the contrary, Osteopaths have a substantial knowledge of the whole body, from your head to your toes and treat all areas on a daily basis.
Osteopathy is a branch of alternative medicine that focuses the belief that the body has the ability to self-heal and self-regulate, given the right conditions. Osteopaths use a holistic approach to diagnose and treat various health conditions by addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
Through hands-on techniques such as manipulation, stretching and massage, osteopaths aim to restore balance and alignment in the body, promoting optimal function and well-being. Osteopaths aren’t just back specialists although it is often sought after for back pain, we also treat joint problems, headaches and many more complaints. Its principles can be applied to restore function, enhance overall health, and prevent future ailments.
