Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure and function. It emphasises the body’s natural ability to heal itself, addressing issues in muscles, joints, and tissues through manual therapy, education, and self-management advice.
Osteopaths can treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Back and neck pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Pregnancy-related discomfort
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Tendonitis
While all three disciplines address musculoskeletal issues, osteopathy takes a holistic approach, focusing on the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. Unlike chiropractors, osteopaths often use gentler manipulative techniques and may avoid high-velocity joint adjustments entirely. Compared to physiotherapy, osteopathy places a stronger emphasis on hands-on treatment and the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
Your initial consultation includes a detailed discussion of your medical history, a thorough physical examination, and a treatment tailored to your specific needs. The session lasts approximately one hour and may include diagnosis, hands-on therapy, and a personalised self-management plan.
