About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a hands-on, holistic approach to diagnosing, treating and preventing musculoskeletal problems. At Chelsea Osteopaths, we focus on identifying the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms, so you can recover fully and stay well long-term.

Identifying the root of the cause of your pain.

Here are a list of commonly asked questions regarding your pain and what we can do to help.

After identifying the problem we take a staged approach to your recovery. First priority is to get rid of the symptoms such as pain, stiffness, numbness, etc. Then we go further, treating those areas which have caused the original problem to arise. This prevents the problem re-occurring and saves you having to constantly come back when the same thing goes wrong again. Treatment involves a variety of gentle and firm hands-on work. The exact techniques depend on the individual, some people suit some methods and others suit different ones. Your input is always important to us when deciding how best to treat you.
