Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

Preparing for Your Massage: Essential Guidelines Choose the Right Space:
Choose The Right Space:
- Select a room that offers a minimum area of 2×3 meters to comfortably fit the massage table and provide enough room for the therapist to move freely.
- If possible, pick a location close to the front door to minimize stair use and ensure easy access.
Gather Necessary Towels:
- Have two large towels ready, along with a smaller one to act as a cushion for the face.
Prepare the Space in Advance:
- Ensure that the area is tidy and organized at least an hour before the massage begins.
