With hectic schedules and many responsibilities, find the key to a balanced, healthier you through the transformative potential of osteopathy

With today’s busy lifestyles, finding time to concentrate on our health and wellbeing is difficult. Juggling careers, caring for children and older relatives, household chores and managing finances can all take a toll on our bodies. It’s only when our health begins to suffer and our bodies start to send out alarm signals forcing us to slow down, then we truly begin to focus on ourselves.  

It is essential to take a break from our normal routines and focus on ‘self-care’. This means making time each day to eat healthily, exercise and focus on your wellbeing. This in turn gives your body and brain instant benefits in managing stress, depression, and anxiety. Not only will this benefit your health long-term, but by spending time on you, you ensure that you continue to be there for those you love for years to come.  

How can osteopaths help?

You may think that osteopaths are there just to alleviate pain. They can help with pain, but osteopathy can do so much more. Osteopaths aim to support the health of those we treat by providing manual therapy treatment together with both health and exercise advice tailored to individual needs and they can also help with your general care and wellbeing. They work to restore the body to a state of balance without the use of invasive medical interventions, such as drugs and surgery.  

Did you know that osteopathy is a health profession regulated by UK law? A person can only call themselves an osteopath if they are registered with the General Osteopathic Council, which sets high standards of practice and conduct.
