Osteopathic treatment is aimed at releasing stresses and strains that have accumulated in the body over many years, improving mobility and circulation to the body and so promoting general well being. 

By easing old strains, the joints are able to work in a more balanced fashion.  Osteopathy can reduce pain, ease swelling and improve both mobility and range of joint movement.  Often the need for joint replacement surgery can be delayed, and if replacement surgery is finally needed, the body tissues are generally in better health, and recovery is swifter.  Osteopathy can also help with rehabilitation following surgery.

As we get older, falls are more likely to occur, and with increasing age the body tissues lose some flexibility and elasticity, and so the body is unable to recover as quickly from any trauma.  This in turn can lead to the retention of strains in the body which can not only aggravate existing problems, but predispose to other illnesses.

 Conditions osteopathy can benefit include:

• Arthritic pain
• Rheumatic pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Back and neck pain
• Sciatica
• Aches and pains
• Circulatory problems
• Digestion problems
• Neuralgia
• Inability to relax
