Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person's muscles and joints.

It is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together.

At Osteocare, we use osteopathic techniques with the aim of:

Increasing the mobility of joints

Relieving muscle tension

Reducing pain

Enhancing the blood supply to tissues
