Osteopathy is a comprehensive manual therapy that has been practiced for over a century. It is founded on the idea that a person’s health is determined by how well their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues work together.

It incorporates a number of techniques aimed at aiding repair and strengthening the affected area by activating and relaxing the neurological, circulatory and general systems of the body. Osteopaths take a holistic approach to treatment, which means they look for the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.

Deep tissue massage, joint manipulation, stretching and exercise prescription are used by Osteopaths to improve joint motion, relieve muscular tension, relieve pain, increase blood flow and assist the body’s natural healing process. Dry  Needling might also be used when necessary.

Remedial   Massage   Therapy is the evidence based assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and associated conditions. Treatment options may include Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Cupping, Trigger Point Therapy, Joint Mobilization and Dry  Needling.

Dry   Needling is also known as myofascial trigger point release. Dry Needling is a valuable adjunct therapy for chronic pain, stiffness and to deactivate myofascial trigger points. A fine, flexible and sterile single-use needle is used to release shortened bands of muscle.

Myofascial   Cupping is a soft tissue therapy in which a vacuum effect pulls up underlying connective tissue (fascia), muscles, blood and other fluids near to the skin’s surface. Areas of muscular restriction and tension are identified using massage techniques and myofascial cups are applied, leaving the cups on specific areas for short periods to reduce or eliminate fascial adhesions and trigger points. Directly removing any fascial adhesions, raising tissue warmth and decreasing tissue viscosity all help to increase range of motion and mobility, and reduce pain.
