Osteopathy is based on the principle that the structure and function of the body are intimately related. If the structure is not balanced and healthy then the function is affected.

Osteopaths believe that the healthy balance and function of the musculoskeletal framework of the body is essential to whole body health.

Injuries such as a sprained ankle can lead the whole body to compensate for a limp. Stiffness or restricted mobility in the pelvis, spine, rib cage, shoulders and neck can make it difficult to compensate for the limp and aching or pain may result.

Osteopathic practice is a healthcare approach that provides a package of care that can include one or more of the following: manual therapy, health information, self-management advice and support, and/or exercise therapy, as determined by the individual needs of the patient.

Osteopathy can be beneficial for both acute and chronic conditions. Here at The Wantage Osteopathic Practice we have a wealth of experience – from pitchside assessment and treatment of acute injuries to long term maintenance for chronic pain.

We are trained to take a detailed case history from you regarding your condition and past medical history. We can use this information, along with our physical examination, to diagnose and create a treatment plan specifically for you, which we will discuss with you during your initial visit.
