This is one of the most common questions we are asked. Osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists treat the same conditions with different approaches. It is not for us to explain the theories behind Physiotherapy or Chiropractic, but the main principles of Osteopathy are that the body is a unit and that the structure and function of the body are interrelated. This means that dysfunction, or damage, to one area of the body can have drastic effects on other regions of the body.
As Osteopaths, we aim not only to treat the symptoms of the problem, but the cause behind them. In doing so, all of our techniques are hands-on and are specific to your condition and your medical history. Incorporating a wholistic approach, we are also trained to assess diet, nutrition, ergonomics and lifestyle factors to attain a true sense of wellbeing.
