What do osteopaths do

Osteopaths work with their hands, producing a treatment which will consist of soft-tissue massage, gentle circulation and passive mobilisation techniques to specific joints. A bespoke series of stretches and/or exercises can be formulated as necessary and then closely monitored.

The Osteopath's job is to diagnose and treat faults that occur in the mechanical system due to injury, stress or any other cause, and to ensure that the body is functioning as efficiently as possible.
