Osteopathy is a hands-on manual therapy where I use my knowledge of  anatomy to assess and gently treat restrictions of motion in your body which could be impeding nerve, blood, venous and lymphatic drainage and delivery. ​Applied anatomy is: where it is in the body and what it does. ​This is a very gentle treatment with no high velocity low amplitude thrusts. ​Osteopathy is a holistic way of treating the body in that we consider how everything is inter-related.  I will be looking for the root cause of dysfunction, not just treating the symptoms of dysfunction. ​ By restoring nerve, blood and lymphatic flow the body will be able to self heal and self maintain resulting in less pain, more movement and better sleep. “To find health should be the object… Anyone can find disease”- Andrew Taylor Still​ More about anatomy: Muscles move bones and joints; nerves tell the muscles what to do; venous blood drains away metabolic waste and returns to the heart / lungs for reoxygenation; arteries supply freshly nutrified blood to all tissues and is the life force of the body, lymphatic fluid is the backup drainage for any fluid lost in the venous system; fascia packages muscles and muscle compartments, protects the body from too much fluid movement, provides passages for nerves, and vessels, as well as communicates force and maintains postural integrity through tensile strength.
