Osteopathy

Osteopathy is an established, recognised and highly regulated system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body.

Our osteopaths are highly skilled practitioners who have completed 4-5 years at University in order to earn a masters degree in Osteopathy. This course covers much of the same syllabus as medical doctors but with a real emphasis on the musculoskeletal system and the treatment and rehab of subsequent pain and injury in these areas.

Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Its main strength however lies in the unique way our osteopaths assess you from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and the methods of treatment applied to suit your individual needs as a patient.

Our luton osteopath team take a thorough history, use a visual examination and their hands both to investigate the underlying causes of your pain and to carry out treatment using a variety of techniques.

These may include muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmic joint movements or high velocity thrust techniques to improve the range of motion at a joint. Taping, massage techniques and medical acupuncture techniques may also be used by our osteopaths.

Our osteopaths also regularly prescribe at home corrective exercise in order to speed up and facilitate a full recovery, increase strength, muscle length, stability and control in movement and improve confidence in every day tasks.
