What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a "whole body" system of manual therapy. It is based on unique biomechanical principles and uses a range of techniques to treat musculoskeletal problems and other functional disorders of the body.

Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body’s skeleton and joint function along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs.

Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. Utilising a highly developed sense of touch, they identify problem areas of the body. Using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an Osteopath works with the body to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.

Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques, and some specific adjustments affecting joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). Advice can also be given on self-help treatments.

What happens?

On your first visit, a full case history will be taken. An examination will be carried out (you will need to undressed to your under-clothing for this) and you may then be asked to perform a few simple movements so the Osteopath can assess the problem.

The Osteopath will use their highly developed sense of touch called palpation to assess areas of weakness, tenderness, restriction or strain within your body.

The Osteopath will make a diagnosis and discuss it with you and if osteopathic treatment is suitable it will be offered to you. Treatment will be aimed at helping to restore normal joint stability and function.

Osteopaths usually start any treatment by releasing and relaxing muscles and stretching stiff joints, using gentle massage techniques, rhythmic joint movements and muscle release techniques. The Osteopath may also carry out manipulation using short, quick movements to spinal joints. Other techniques may also be used depending on your problem.

Unique to a Therapolis Osteopathy consultation, the treatment may be combined with Acupuncture, depending on the condition and client, in order to further enhance recovery.

Treatments usually last up to half an hour, and normally between 2 and 6 sessions are required. Many clients decide that they would like to have periodic preventative treatments to avoid recurring problems.
