Osteopath based in Guildford
Osteopathy is an effective hands-on approach involving highly skilled diagnosis and treatment, supported by practical lifestyle advice to enable patients to maintain optimal physical health and return to daily and/or sports-related activities.
Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals recognized by the NHS as fully qualified to diagnose and treat independently.
Utilizing an initial movement assessment and a highly developed sense of touch, they identify problem areas of the body. Using gentle stretching, soft tissue and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an osteopath will improve the health of the affected tissue and the body as a whole.
