What Is an Osteopath?

An osteopath is a highly trained healthcare professional who focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal issues. Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to improve movement, relieve pain, and enhance overall body function. They take a wide-spread approach, considering not just the site of pain but how the surrounding areas may be contributing to your injury.

How Do Osteopaths Work?

Unlike some other practitioners who focus primarily on one part of the body, osteopaths assess and treat the body as a whole. They use a variety of techniques, including:

• Soft tissue massage to relieve tension and improve circulation

• Joint mobilisations to enhance movement and flexibility

• Stretching exercises to aid in recovery and prevent injuries

• Strengthening programs to improve posture and function

Osteopaths also provide advice on lifestyle modifications, movement strategies, and rehabilitation exercises to support long-term health and prevent future injuries.
