Each osteopath has their own style, but Anna is a strong believer in the “find it, fix it and leave it alone” mentality. While your initial consultation and treatments may be working on a problem area or specific injury, over time a quick "tune-up" or a maintenance visit may be all it takes to keep you in optimal condition. As a general guideline, most acute cases will require 3-5 treatments for the full therapeutic benefits to be realised. With your permission, Anna will employ a wide range of techniques to manipulate your body to improve overall function. These can include: -physical manipulation -dry needling -stretching -massage -mobilisation -cranial osteopathy (OCF) -exercise and postural advice -joint manipulation The goal is to bring your body back to homeostasis where the skeleton, ligaments, joints, muscles and connective tissues are functioning smoothly together.
