Osteopathy is a metaphore for life.

The underlying philosophy is that the body has a natural tendency to heal itself but this can be disrupted by imbalances in the musculoskeletal system. Indeed, my approach to patient care values the importance of the patient-practitioner relationship.

From newborns to children, pregnant women, adults to athletes, my focus is to heal and to release tensions, pain, troubles with soft visceral, cranio-sacral, energetic techniques or gentle structural manipulations »

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A shared philosophy for osteopathy and chiropractic is the importance of the integrity of the spine in ensuring good health.

Chiropractor tend to be very focused on a range of techniques for manipulation of the spine.

Whereas, Osteopaths do not manipulate (‘click ’) a joint the way Chiropractors do, they make use of a wider range of techniques for the whole body. Apart from manipulation, Osteopaths use other techniques such as stretches, massage and gentle release techniques (cranial osteopathy) without any ‘clicking’ of the joints. These techniques are seldom used by Chiropractors.

Some patients have instant relief. Others discover it can take more time. Many factors can affect your recovery such as your age, how long you’ve had the problem, severity, your daily demands and general condition of your body.

Whilst every patient reacts differently, your osteopath will be able to advise you on your likely recovery time. In most cases you will feel a definite change for the better early on in your treatment. Most patients do express significant improvement after just one or two treatments, but in general, the longer you’ve had it, the longer it will take to recover. Your commitment to the recommended treatment plan, home exercises and any diet or lifestyle adjustments will also determine your treatment outcome and your long term benefits from osteopathic care.
