“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease”

– Hippocrates

 

The fundamental principle of osteopathy is that the human organism is an integrated physical, biochemical, psychological unit with an innate ability to defend and repair itself. However, when the body’s ability to adapt to environmental changes is disrupted, disease may ensue.

“The body exhibits a constant drive towards health”

– Virchow

 

Through powerful yet gentle hands on techniques such as mobilisation, stretching, joint manipulation, functional rehabilitation exercises and dietary advice, the osteopath aims to remove any barriers to function. In this way, optimal blood, lymph and venous flow are restored and the dynamic relationship between bones, nerves and muscles allows a return to well-integrated, healthful movement patterns and posture.
