OSTEOPATHY

Thoughtful, hands-on care supporting movement, recovery and whole-body function.

Our approach to osteopathic care

Osteopathy at Holistic OM is delivered through attentive, hands-on care shaped around how the body is functioning as a whole. Rather than focusing only on the site of discomfort, treatment considers how movement patterns, load, stress and recovery are interacting across systems.

Sessions are guided by clinical assessment and informed reasoning. Care may involve a range of manual techniques, selected according to presentation, goals and stage of recovery. The emphasis is on supporting mobility, reducing strain and improving overall function in a way that is responsive to the individual.

Osteopathic care within the Holistic OM collective values collaboration, pacing and clarity. Treatment is adapted to what is appropriate on the day, with attention to comfort, communication and measurable change over time.

Different osteopaths may work with varying approaches and techniques. Some sessions involve broader structural work, while others draw on more subtle methods such as Biodynamic Cranial Osteopathy. Care is always adapted to the individual and different practitioners may use different approaches. -if you aren’t sure what the right approach is for you then reach out and we’ll be happy to guide you.
