Osteopathy is a patient centred manual therapy that may be helpful in treating conditions such as back pain, neck and shoulder pain, all joint pain, whiplash and soft tissue injury.

Techniques include; soft tissue therapy with manipulation and adjustment; lymphatic drainage; myofascial release, visceral and cranial sacral osteopathy. Pre and post natal mothers may benefit from treatment, as do babies with birth related trauma, colic and disrupted sleep patterns. It has also been shown to help children with learning and behavioural difficulties.
