Welcome to St Andrews Osteopaths and Natural Health Clinic
What is Osteopathy?
 Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. It is distinctive in the fact that it recognises much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure depending on the correct functioning of all parts to maintain optimal health.
The osteopath's skill lies in building up, through examination and touch a clear and precise picture of how the relevant parts of the body are functioning and then promoting the natural recovery of the body by manipulation and massage of the affected bones/joints, muscles and other related tissues.
Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Its main strength however lies in the unique way the patient is assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and the manual methods of treatment applied to suit the needs of the individual patient.
