Osteopathy – It’s more than just cracking

Why did the osteopath go into stand-up comedy? They like to crack people up! It’s a common misconception about osteopathy that we’re all about cracking joints. While that audible release of a joint can be satisfying, osteopathic care is about so much more than that. We offer a range of therapies including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, lymphatic drainage, taping, and needling to ensure your body functions at its best. Give us call on 01634 420046 / 01622 260101 to make an appointment at Tim Wood Healthcare if you’d like to experience these therapies yourself. But for now, let’s understand how these treatments work.
