[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve health across all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework. 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. Our city osteopathy in Singapore provides advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

We will also incorporate soft tissue techniques, joint mobilizations, and exercise.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What can you expect on your first session?” style=”simple”]A case history will be taken initially followed by a physical assessment. This is to ensure we can come to an accurate diagnosis to then work from. This will then be followed by some treatment and a treatment plan will be established to tackle the presenting complaint. The patient may be asked to remove some clothing to expose the problematic area. It is advised to come with some sports clothes to change into. We also provide shorts and gowns if need be.
