What Osteopathic Therapy Offers You
A treatment with The English Osteopaths will leave you refreshed, with a more complete understanding of your symptoms and the course of action you need to take to get well and stay well.
Healing of root causes, not just symptoms
Osteopathic therapists recognize that there is a profound difference between a symptom and a cause: A symptom is something that bothers you. For example, a rash is a symptom. Pain and swelling are symptoms. They let you know something is wrong but they don’t tell you much about what is wrong. Getting rid of the symptom does not automatically get rid of the cause. We take a look at the root causes of injury and illness that are often obscured by years of symptoms and other hidden factors.We deal with the root causes so your symptoms do not return.
A new understanding of your illness or injury
Part of our job is to find out why you are in trouble and, we believe, part of our job is to explain that to you. Our philosophy is that we are partners in enabling healing. The more you understand about your health, the better able you will be to sustain it. Knowing the reasons for your problem helps you understand and act on what needs to be done to become well again.
A quick return to activity after injury
Our whole-body approach recognizes the interconnected nature of your body. We encourage movement rehabilitation that is fun and safe. The movements, activities and exercises we recommend will compliment all other forms of rehabilitation and will not cause further damage or injury. This allows you to be active following injury, which will keep your motivation up and help you avoid being depressed or frustrated by inactivity.
The release of tension after surgery or illness
Osteopathic therapists work through your body’s systems to locate points of tension. At optimal health, the relationship between your organs and your muscles, fascia and bones remains stable no matter how you move. Surgery or illness can disrupt this relationship and cause fixed and abnormal points of tension. We enable healing by using the rhythmic motions of your visceral system to evaluate and remove points of tension anywhere in your body.
Profound ease and comfort
Osteopathic therapists can ease the restrictions that you have become used to living with. Many patients comment that they can do things they never thought they would be able to do again. You will be able to move freely and do what you love doing. You will experience a lack of tension, and have a sense of symmetry, freedom and comfort.
Much greater vitality
Osteopathic therapy is deeply restorative. This is because we treat all the interconnected aspects of your problem. That whole-body approach allows us to work with your whole system to restore a complete sense of well-being and vitality.
The English Osteopaths believe that if you give yourself the right environment in which to thrive, you will. Make an appointment to see us, and we’ll help you find that environment.
