Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing problems such as aches and pains. This is achieved by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints. Leading to the relaxation of tight muscles, improving blood circulation and releasing trapped ligaments and tendons.
Patients can often feel a reduction in muscle pain after just one treatment. Muscle pain, or myalgia can also be linked with autoimmune disease, rheumatological conditions, drugs, infections and many more.
