Osteopath in Bromley
Osteopathy was developed on the principal that the body has an innate capacity to repair itself under the correct conditions. It is a type of ‘hands-on’ therapy that seeks to restore the body to a state where this healing mechanism can be allowed to work. This is achieved by removing restrictions to movement, improving circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid and by addressing any lifestyle factors and postural problems that may be preventing recovery.
Many different techniques are used to achieve this including massage, stretching, gentle joint movement and also short fast joint movement that often results in a ‘popping’ sound as the joint releases.
An Osteopath looks at the whole body, not just the injured area, as well as the patient’s lifestyle and past history. They seek to understand all of the various factors that have caused the area become injured. In doing so, not only is the injury treated but also the underlying cause is addressed and the patient can be empowered to prevent the injury from re-occurring with exercises and advice and where necessary, lifestyle adjustments.
All of our Osteopaths are fully insured and registered with the General osteopathic council. An osteopath has to complete a minimum of 4 yrs full time study including 1300 hours of clinic experience and leaves university with Masters level Master of Osteopathy degree.
