Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a gentle, holistic manual therapy used to support the diagnosis, management and treatment of musculoskeletal issues. It focuses on helping the body move and function as well as possible by improving the mobility and health of muscles, joints, ligaments and connective tissues.
Osteopaths use a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to the individual, which may include manual therapy, movement and exercise advice, rehabilitation strategies, and lifestyle guidance.
