Did you know..? 👀 That from the second an osteopath starts training, they begin their life-long journey of honing their sense of touch and developing their palpation skills? 🙌

This is not something that can be taught over a weekend and in fact takes years to develop. Patients are often surprised what we can feel and pick up on with the gentlest of touch! 🙏

Osteopathy is a truly HANDS ON therapy with many reported benefits to your health and well-being. 🌟

✔️ There is much that is conventional in the way that osteopaths are trained and taught to practice. We can make conventional diagnoses that seek to establish WHAT has gone wrong.. 👀

But osteopaths want to know WHY it is not right! This is when we refer to the 'Art within the Science' 🍃✨💕. We appreciate that every person is completely individual in the way that they are built and designed with a history of different diets, lifestyles and injury histories. As well as emotional factors!

When you choose to visit an osteopath NO TWO TREATMENTS will ever be the same 😮! Osteopaths have a vast array of skills and techniques that can be tailored specifically to suit an individual on any given day. Always done in a way that is most appropriate for you and your body! ❤️

"An osteopath is a human engineer, who should understand all the laws governing his engine and thereby master disease." - Andrew Taylor Still

Hi, meet Andrew Taylor Still! ✨🙋‍♂️

Working as a physician in the 1800s, AT Still witnessed sometimes harmful and ineffective practices (including giving patients arsenic and o***m!) resulting in much suffering and death. The loss of his three children to spinal meningitis cemented his focus on discovering the root of disease rather than curing symptoms.

AT Still pioneered the concept of "wellness'' and treating illness from a context of the whole body. He proposed that the alignment and balance of the musculoskeletal system directly influenced the body's ability to function and heal itself via it's relationship to blood and nerve flow.

And thus osteopathy was born! 🙌 His success in treating patients gained much popularity and many people became interested in learning his methods. There are now schools all over the world teaching osteopathic medicine with our numbers growing every year.

Osteopathy continues to prove itself as a SAFE, GENTLE and EFFECTIVE form of treatment and we look forward to telling you more over the coming week!
