Osteopaths work with the body; aiming to restore it to a state of balance through touch, gentle physical manipulation and stretching of the muscles, ligaments and joints. Enhancing the blood and nerve supply to body tissues enables the body’s own healing mechanisms to aid recovery from injury and promote health. Practitioners use different techniques according to an individual’s needs, ensuring suitability for all ages. Common conditions osteopathy can help treat include:

• General, acute and chronic back pain

• Headaches arising from the neck (cervicogenic)
