Treatment
Every person is an individual and as such, each treatment is approached in a way that is appropriate for the case, situation and circumstances.
Many aspects are taken into consideration including medical history, aggravating factors and more, tailoring each treatment to the needs of the patient.
This is known as the holistic approach and is inclusive of the whole body to discover the cause of any problems and does not focus solely on treating symptoms alone.
In Osteopathy, assessment and treatment are simultaneous. Recommendations are given for home care, designed to compliment the improvements accomplished during the session. This may be as simple as the patient being more aware of their own body and adjusting movement, sitting and sleeping accordingly.
