Discover Osteopathy Services Preston
Osteopathy is a holistic, non-invasive form of manual therapy that was created in 1892. This form of therapy offers a unique way to diagnose and provide treatment. It utilises muscle energy techniques (MET) and massage to treat your injury or condition. Our osteopaths near Preston take pride in helping to improve the comfort, functionality, and overall well-being of our clients by working towards improving acute and chronic pain and mobility and preventing illnesses, musculoskeletal issues, and injuries.
By considering the body’s connection between structure and function, osteopathy aims to address the root cause of ailments, rather than only targeting the symptoms. Focusing on holistic balance may help you to achieve better health by nurturing the dynamic interplay between your body’s systems.

What to Anticipate During Your Osteopathy Consultation
An appointment usually lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Our osteopaths will talk to you about your symptoms, the background of your issue and any relevant health history, assess your function and symptoms, and review any scan results. From there, we will develop and provide a treatment and management plan to achieve your desired outcome. Treatment will usually begin in the first session. The frequency and number of sessions required depends on your requirements, goals, and response to treatment.
