Osteopaths are highly skilled musculoskeletal healthcare practitioners. They can help with a wide range of conditions from acute sprains and strains to chronic pain. Below is a list of common problems we can help you with.
Soft tissue massage is a technique we use that mobilises the body’s soft tissues.
The technique can be used on the tendons, ligaments, muscles, fascia, and connective tissue around the joints.
Using this technique will relieve muscle tension and increase joint mobility helping you to live a more pain-free life.
Muscle Energy Techniques (also known as MET) is a type of massage therapy that Osteopaths use to strengthen and improve the muscles.
MET is typically used to provide pain relief for the following problems:
Reduced movement in the neck, back and shoulders
Sciatica
Scoliosis
Contractures
Leg length discrepancy
Muscle injury
Muscle tightness
Dry needling is an Osteopathy technique which involves inserting a fine filament needle into the muscle fibres which act as a trigger point for the pain the client is experiencing.
The aim of using dry needling is to cause a local twitch response which will relieve muscular tension and pain
Using a range of exercises and repetitive movements, joint articulation and manipulation will allow your joints to move more freely which will relieve the pain you’re experiencing.
Rehabilitation is used when a condition, surgery or injury has occurred making daily movements impossible or tricky.
The exercises your Osteopath will provide aim to reduce the pain andincrease your movement.
Rehabilitation typically involves using a range of techniques such as massage and manipulation and getting to the core of your pain.
Here at Body Consultancy, we offer 3 phases of care which will help to treat, stablise and maintain your condition:
We believe in working with the whole person – not just the painful area. So we’ll spend time really understanding not only your current symptoms but your daily activities, interests, experiences and goals.
We’ll advise you on what needs to change in the way you, move and hold yourself so that your problem doesn’t re-occur. We’ll help you build new habits to support your continued progress to full mobility and movement.
This ongoing phase is usually especially important for conditions we refer to as chronic (over 6 months), sub-acute (over 3 months) or acute (last few weeks) with significant re-occurring previous episodes.
Once you have met with one of our osteopaths for your complimentary consultation they will be
able to provide you with a plan based on your requirements.
