Osteopathy at PRE Therapy

Osteopathic treatment is the physical manipulation of the body’s muscle tissue and bones. By applying manual techniques, osteopaths aim to reduce pain, improve circulation, enhance mobility, and support the body's natural healing processes.

One of the key principles of osteopathy therapy is the belief that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself. Our osteopaths work to identify and address the root causes of symptoms rather than simply treating the symptoms themselves. We take a holistic approach, considering the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that may contribute to a person's health.

+ What are PRE Therapy’s techniques for Osteopathy?

Our osteopathic practitioners use a variety of osteopathic techniques in their approach. One common technique is called soft tissue manipulation, where the osteopath uses their hands to apply gentle pressure and stretching to the muscles and tissues. This helps to release tension and improve blood flow to the area, which can reduce pain and promote healing.

Another technique used by our osteopathic physicians is joint mobilization. This involves gently moving the joints through their full range of motion to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness. By doing this, the osteopath can help to restore normal joint function and alleviate pain.

In addition to these manual therapy techniques, osteopaths may also provide advice on lifestyle changes and exercises that can support the healing process. They may recommend specific stretches or strengthening exercises to improve muscle balance and stability. They may also provide guidance on ergonomics and posture, helping patients to make adjustments in their daily activities to prevent further injury or strain.
