Most people see an osteopath with a specific pain or discomfort. Osteopathy will enhance healing and recovery. Obviously the aim is to be pain-free if this is possible. Or to assist in managing any ongoing chronic conditions.
In addition to the above. The following are some of the side-benefits you might anticipate from consulting an osteopath:
- Often pain results in an adaptive posture. Working with the pain problem will help to restore a better body position. You may even find your osteopath suggests work elsewhere in the body to improve posture and ongoing movement into the future. This should help longer term injury prevention. Since your body will be held with improved balance and will function better as a result. Osteopaths take a holistic approach to achieve the optimal mechanics in your body.
- Thinking holistically. Releasing body restriction will help to improve your circulation. This too should prompt speedier healing but also support longer term wellbeing. Working on the ribcage, diaphragm muscle, and other related structures can also improve breathing and digestion.
- When you move better and are able to get on with your daily life, you feel happier! Supporting general fitness and reducing stress. Osteopathy can contribute to supporting mental health and wellbeing.
- When you feel more comfortable, settling and resting to sleep at night is easier. This is a crucial part of allowing body and mind to re-set and supports repair and recovery.
Overall, osteopathic treatment emphasises a comprehensive approach to health, aiming to enhance overall well-being and prevent future issues.
