FACTS
ABOUT OSTEOPATHY - Osteopathy was developed by an American Doctor in the mid 1870's.
This pre-dates the dvelopment of both Chiropractic and Physiotherapy.

uses purely 'hands-on' techniques for diagnosis and treatment. No machines nor drugs.

is a holistic form of healthcare encompassing a full body diagnosis and treatment, not simply the part that hurts.
- Osteopathic diagnosis and treatment differs widely from that used in Chriopractic and Physiotherapy.
- Osteopathy is one of the most widely recognised forms of complimentary healthcare in the world.
- Osteopaths are highly trained clinicians and are able to use both Osteopathic and Orthodox medical techniques
for diagnosis.
- Osteopaths are primary care practitioners, you do not need to see
your G.P. or specialist prior to seeing an Osteopath.

practitioners and will often work and communicate with your other medical care providers to ensure the best quality of treatment
