OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathy is an internationally recognised, holistic, non-invasive, drug-free and highly effective alternative form of medicine. It treats the patient as a whole - all physical, mental and spiritual aspects are taken into consideration.

It aims to find and treat the root cause of the complaint, instead of treating the symptoms alone.

What exactly does an Osteopath do?

In most cases, structural problems in the body start developing many years before any symptoms show up. If these alterations in the structure are not treated, they can, in the long term, affect the nervous system, the circulatory system, the functioning of the organs, posture and overall health. An Osteopath will identify and treat these misalignments before they progress to becoming health issues. In short, an Osteopath specializes in the diagnosis, management and treatment of musculoskeletal, visceral and cranial disorders. Treatment is hands-on and involves skilled manipulation of the spine and joints. Soft tissues are also involved.

What conditions can Osteopathy treat?

• Posture and spinal dysfunction.
• Chronic pain and headaches/migraines.
• Asthma, breathing problems, sinusitis.
• Immunity related issues.
• Joint pain and body stiffness.
• Hormonal issues (menstrual issues).
• Chronic stress originating from physical, mental and emotional causes.
• Visceral complaints like digestive issues, liver and kidney problems.
• Post traumatic and post surgery complications.

Duration of each treatment is usually 60 minutes.
