About Osteopathy and the practitioners at Green Osteopathic Clinic
The main emphasis of Osteopathy is to restore motion to all parts of the body so as to regain healthy function. This includes joint and soft tissue motion, cranial, visceral and nervous system motion, and the normal flow of blood and lymph to ensure the delivery of nutrition and oxygen and the removal of toxins. Past injuries and chronically stressful circumstances can put a body in restrictive patterns of function which limit how the body can deal with daily stresses and new injuries. Infants very often undergo strain in their body, in a restricted lay pre birth or during the birth process. These strains can be released by experienced osteopathic hands. Babies who have reflux, latching difficulties, persistent neck preference, discomfort in tummy time, show instability or are excessive irritability will benefit from an osteopathic assessment and treatment with Judy. Osteopathic manual practitioners use safe, gentle and precise techniques to restore motion, alleviate strain, reduce pain, restore a restful state to promote healing and bring the body into a healthy balance. All of the osteopathic pratitioners at Green Osteopathic Clinic are proficient in soft tissue release, mobilisation, cranial treatment and visceral treatment (organs), essential to the healthy functioning of the body.
