The aim is to relieve the current symptoms and also improve the underlying health of the tissues as far as possible in order that they do not recur.

This type of treatment is suitable for everyone from newborn babies to the very elderly, being extremely gentle.
Patients may feel sensations of pressure or warmth, either under the osteopath’s hand or elsewhere. Most patients feel that gradually the tension is being drawn out of their body and they become deeply relaxed.

Benefits
Osteopathic treatment is aimed not only at the relief of symptoms, but towards helping the body function better in all respects.
Patients often report an improvement in general well being, energy levels, sleep patterns, and also in areas of symptoms other than those that brought them to the osteopath in the first place.
