| The main concept of osteopathy is that the human body tends to be self-regulatory and self-healing in the face of disease processes. It is also considered that structure and function are interdependent. Techniques are wide-ranging and beyond purely manipulation and massage, which enable the modern Osteopath to treat a great variety of conditions successfully. These include the adaptive postural strain found in children, or due to pregnancy, or occupational stress and injuries received during sporting or other activities. Pains caused by degenerative changes also often respond to the more gentle techniques of osteopathy. | |||||

Pathological conditions cannot be treated by
osteopathy, but less obvious problems can respond well
to treatment, among which are, for instance, asthma and migraine. Whatever the condition being treated, patients can be assured that a full consultation and thorough relevant examination will have been given, to attain an accurate diagnosis. |
