Emma Shanahan at Better Gym Pinner

Osteopathy is an established, recognised, evidence based system of diagnosis and treatment concerned with the structure and function of the entire body and as such, is a suitable treatment for many sources of physical discomfort. It is a system of manual therapy based on the manipulation of the body. We work closely with GPs to provide the most appropriate therapy for your problem. It is not an alternative to allopathic medicine and osteopaths do in fact use many conventional diagnostic procedures to help identify the source of your problem and arrive at a diagnosis.
 
Treatment is tailored to each individual patient, and may include deep soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation, muscle stretching and exercise prescription. Treatment aims to rapidly alleviate symptoms, however you will be given lifestyle advice – diet, exercise and posture – to help  maintain long term well-being.
