Hamworthy Osteopaths

Osteopathy is a manual therapy which works primarily with the musculoskeletal system and is based on the principle that helping to restore optimal function in these tissues, can facilitate healing, reduce symptoms and contribute to overall well-being. We are probably best known for "clicking" or manipulating joints. In fact, although this can be highly effective in the right case, it is not always

appropriate and many successful treatments do not include this technique. Osteopaths use a wide range of soft tissue approaches including massage, trigger point pressure, stretches and others. We also work on joints with repetitive passive movement, called articulation, and use gentle traction-release and functional joint positioning. Overall your osteopath is likely to use a mixture of manual treatment types and may also use ultrasound or hot/cold therapy. The skill lies in selecting the best approach to get the best results.
