FAQs – Osteopathy
No need to worry! We don’t expect them to lie still. Our Osteopaths are highly skilled and use techniques that are well suited to each patient’s age and ability.
Some techniques may require you to undress to underwear, if this is the case you will be offered a gown and a draping sheet will be used. If you do not wish to undress, please wear loose, light clothing to your treatment.
Osteopathy uses techniques such as:
- Myofascial techniques that address the muscles and connective tissues of the body
- Joint articulation and/or manipulation
- Techniques that influence the nerves, circulation, and viscera (organs)
- Stretching and exercises
We will use a variety of techniques depending on your symptoms, age health and preferences.
