Osteopathy in Cornwall is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative therapy treatment for managing physical pain without the use of medication. Although Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment, it isn’t usually painful. Using gentle techniques such as massage, stretching and the rotation of joints along with high velocity thrusts, if necessary, (short sharp movements which may produce a clicking noise) the Osteopath will seek to bring relief through the encouragement of blood flow and flexibility to the area and surrounding areas of the discomfort.
Adam, of East Cornwall Osteopathy, is our resident clinician at Middleway Complementary Therapies and has spent 15 years in the health and fitness profession diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries, which include; injuries of the bones, joints, muscles and surrounding tissues . With a background in Sports Massage Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialisation Adam may also offer exercises to accompany osteopathic treatment to assist the healing process along.
Osteopathy is a treatment for anyone, not just for those with a recreational injury, which means anyone of any age, from babies through to the elderly, with any occupational background, from sports person through to office worker, pregnancy, or if you are retired and just need to bend down to weed the garden, Osteopathy can be helpful. When it comes to babies, due to the developing soft tissues of the young, Cranial Osteopathy may be the technique Adam uses. This is an osteopathic technique that involves the application of gentle pressure on and around the head and spine to relieve pressure.
