Classical Osteopathy

Osteopathy works by removing obstacles to healing and allowing the body's own repair mechanisms to work properly; it is a system for the whole person. Traditional Osteopathy means working gently through the whole structure, re-establishing the relationships and coordination of all systems of the body. At the same time, environment, lifestyle and mental state are also given great importance in the recovery process – nothing is excluded.

Throughout life, we acquire adaptations and stress patterns, in the course of sport, injury, work, pregnancy, illness and emotional trauma, and just through the constant effect of gravity. Sooner or later, these stresses, if not resolved, can lead to excessive demands on the body, causing disease, pain and injury, but long before that, everyday functioning becomes less efficient.

As well as work on muscles and joints, Osteopaths influence the organs, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, of every body system. Mostly the aim is to create freedom, integration and coordination of movement, promote blood-flow and removal of waste, and improve the regulation of metabolic activity, reducing demands on the systems, whilst increasing the capacity to cope.

By identifying and reducing the causes of problems, Osteopathy enables the body to heal itself, to become more efficient and resilient in the process. Because Osteopaths treat people and not diseases, causes and not symptoms, it is not always possible to say 'Osteopathy can help with this and not with that'. Two patients with identical symptoms will have their own set of circumstances. That is why every treatment is tailor-made to your needs as a unique, complete, living, human being.
