Osteopathy
An evidenced based, hands-on approach to health care. Osteopathy relieves pain, restores freedom and addresses core issues impacting your wellbeing.
Osteopathic management encapsulates you as a whole. Assessing your unique interplay of the skeletal, myofascial, circulatory, nervous and organ systems. Whilst considering how your lifestyle choices and requirements impact how you function and feel.
Through comprehensive case history, examination, and orthopedic testing osteopaths identify primary factors, that underpin and perpetuate your issue. Common factors include: previous injuries, traumas and illnesses, poor postural compensations, dysregulated nervous system, malnutrition and stress management.
Osteopaths educate how these factor compound into your presentation, explain what to expect whilst healing and which actions are most beneficial for your situation with realistic rehabilitation/resources.
Providing a grounding experience, so you can better listen to your body and mind to empower yourself.
Embodied Health’s Philosophy
Embodiment is the interaction between the mind, body, and external world.
This interaction is bidirectional. That is, cognitive and emotional processes present in the body as repeated postures and pain. Whilst postures and styles of movement influence the minds clarity.
By allowing our bodies and minds to be heard, held, soothed and strengthened, we deepen our sense of health and home within our own skin.
Our Process:

We Listen, inquire, and discuss details to get a broad idea of your complaint and wellbeing.
