Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation - Osteopathy
Osteopaths detect and treat damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. A well balanced body will function with the minimum of wear and tear. The General Osteopathic Council regulates the profession of Osteopath and more information about the profession can be found on their website www.osteopathy.org.uk
The General Osteopathic Council was established in 1993 to regulate, promote and develop the osteopathic profession in the UK.
Osteopathy recognises that many of the aches and pains we suffer stem from poor mechanical function of the body and osteopaths treat problems with muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints to help the body’s natural healing process.
Treatment involves gentle pressure and manipulation to ease pain and improve mobility. We have provided below some of the common conditions that you can expect an osteopath to treat:
- low back pain
- work related upper limb disorders
- lower limb disorders
- sports injuries
- headaches
- care during pregnancy
