Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on how your body’s bones, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues work together.
If you are experiencing back pain, our team of 19 Osteopaths will each be able to help in several ways:
1. Hands-on treatment
- Soft tissue massage to release muscle tension and improve blood flow.
- Joint mobilisation and manipulation to improve spinal mobility and alignment.
- Stretching techniques to reduce stiffness and improve flexibility.
2. Whole-body approach
- Osteopaths will always look beyond just the painful area. For example, back pain might be linked to posture, gait (the way you walk), or even tension in the hips or neck. Treating related structures can sometimes reduce strain on your back.
3. Pain reduction and mobility
- By improving movement in the joints and reducing muscle tightness, we can often help decrease pain and improve your ability to move comfortably.
4. Preventing recurrence
- Osteopaths provide advice on posture, ergonomics, exercise, and lifestyle to prevent back pain from coming back.
5. Osteopathy is often helpful for:
- Non-specific low back pain (not caused by serious conditions)
- Muscle tension or stiffness
- Postural problems (e.g., sitting long hours at a desk)
- Some cases of sciatica (depending on the cause)
Please note
- If your back pain comes with symptoms like numbness, weakness in the legs, loss of bladder/bowel control, unexplained weight loss, or fever, you should seek urgent medical attention.
