Elizabeth Beckett Osteopath

Osteopathy is patient focused which means that every treatment is adapted to meet your individual needs as the patient. Osteopathy is a safe and natural approach to healthcare suitable for the whole family.
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation for a wide range of medical conditions such as repetitive strain injury, back pain, neck pain, headaches, postural changes in pregnancy and arthritis pain.
Osteopathy is based on the principle that your general wellbeing is dependent on the muscles, skeleton, ligaments and connective tissues all working correctly and functioning together.
As such osteopathy works with the structure and function of the body to maintain a state of balance within the body.
Osteopaths use touch/physical manipulation/ stretching and massage to improve mobility of the joints and to help relieve muscular tension and thus aid the body’s own healing mechanism by increasing the blood and nerve supply to the tissues.
By doing this the dysfunction can be reversed and the pain alleviated. Osteopaths have successfully been treating aches and pains for over 120 years.
