For the past six months we have been collecting data on the patients we treat who have suffered a head injury.
So far there has been a mostly positive response following treatment and we have certainly not made anyone worse.
The usual treatment for this type of injury is to rest and slowly, often very slowly the person recovers.
We think that the Osteopathic treatment we offer will speed and enhance recovery. Osteopathic Treatment will not interfe...
How can Osteopathy influence Heart health?
The Heart sits in the Thorax and on the Diaphragm.
Osteopathic treatment of the Thorax and Diaphragm will have a positive effect on the Heart.
The Thorax is the part of your body where the ribs are.
The Diaphragm is the muscular layer that separates the Thorasic cavity that contains the Heart and Lungs from the Abdomen that contains Stomach and Intestines.

The heart sits in position on the left side of the thorax.
The covering of the Heart, the Pericardium, a strong connective tissue bag, is attached to the sternum, the diaphragm and the thorasic spine.
The thorax, the spine, ribs and breast bone, the diaphragm alo...
It is hard to get a good one in these modern times. The Osteopath thinks it is essential for good health.
Recently we had a power cut for three days. We had to go to bed at about 7.30 when it got dark. Off to sleep at about 9pm. Marvellous.
