Osteopathy in Bath to treat niggling pains, chronic pain and sports injuries, plus headaches and postural problems.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

Whether it’s a ‘cricked’ neck, or that niggling low back or shoulder, osteopaths are qualified to treat any kind of musculoskeletal (muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments) pain and are also proficient in helping you to maintain good musculoskeletal health. Most osteopaths today, complete a four-year Master’s degree covering anatomy, physiology and diagnosis among many other subjects in depth. This equips osteopaths to be able to help their patients understand their pain, and beat it!

Osteopathy is a gentle non-invasive technique to offer relief for acute injuries and pain.
