Osteopathy

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on the individual and the nature of the condition. If a joint will not move freely, for example, it is probable that this condition has developed over a number of years. Osteopathic treatment can release ‘bind’ or adhesions (fibrous tissues that form across damaged joints) preventing full mobility by manipulation. Treatment increases the range of movement, and more importantly — relieves the pain. Several osteopathic treatments may be required because the joint can stiffen between the treatments.
