Osteopathy Techniques
Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment that focuses on helping the body heal by improving how it moves and functions. Osteopaths use a variety of techniques, including gentle stretching, massage, and movements, to help reduce pain and improve mobility. When you visit an osteopath, they’ll usually ask about your health and any areas of pain or discomfort you’re experiencing. During the treatment, they might apply pressure to certain areas of your body, work on your muscles and joints, or guide you through specific exercises. The goal is to help your body work better, reduce pain, and support your overall health.
