The most experienced Osteopath in Petts Wood.
Osteopathy was developed as an holistic treatment using a sense of palpation (touch) for the purpose of both Therapy and Diagnosis of musculo-skeletal conditions – namely back pain. Osteopaths study in great detail Human Anatomy, Physiology, as well as Pathology and what it means to be in good health. The body has a great capacity to self heal given the right circumstances, a feature that osteopaths work with. Osteopathy uses both a scientific understanding of the body but also rely on their intuition and experience of a deep sense of touch to help restore the body back to natural health.
Here at Petts Wood Osteopathic Clinic, we try to look at the whole person, not just the symptoms they may have. Osteopaths often believe that the cause of a problem is more than just a physical misalignment, it can include emotions (see Fascial Unwinding) and problems related to internal organs such as IBS that can be at the heart of the problem. Osteopathy respects the needs of their patients and deals with underlying factors that are often overlooked by orthodox medicine.
