HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
‣ An osteopath has a highly developed sense of palpation,
and is trained to detect and assess the dynamic state of
your body tissues, both within the cranium, the viscera
and the musculoskeletal system.
‣ He will first take your detailed case and medical history.
Then together with a thorough knowledge of anatomy and
physiology the osteopath will assess the pattern and quality
of your movement and try to put together the story of what
traumas have not been well accommodated by your body,
and why present symptoms have developed.
‣ During your treatment he/she will support your body in its
attempt to return to health and balance by using gentle
techniques to release strain patterns. This type of treatment
is extremely gentle and therefore suitable for everyone from
newborn to babies and to the very elderly.
‣ Osteopathic manipulative treatment is composed of manual
techniques that today’s osteopathic practitioners may use to
alleviate your pain, restore your freedom of motion, and
enhance your body’s own healing power.
