Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints.
Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and massage with the aim of:
• increasing the mobility of joints
• relieving muscle tension
• reducing pain
• enhancing the blood supply to ssues
• helping the body to heal
• They use a range of techniques, but not medicines or surgery
• In the UK, osteopathy is a health profession regulated by UK law
What will the treatment involve?
Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. We also provide advice on posture and stretching/strengthening exercises for you to do between treatments to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the proprietor of Angel Yard Osteopaths. A friendly and professional service.”
