Osteopathy is a system of examination, diagnosis and treatment, which uses the movement of the body, to correct structural changes within the animal to help
maintain and restore normal function. It is a holistic therapy which aims to treat the tissues  causing the symptoms at the same time looking for and treating the root
cause of the problem.

Osteopathy uses a series of techniques to mobilise the body, re educate the nervous system and improve muscle tone to allow a return to normal function and movement.

Osteopathy is holistic, it does not just focus on backs! During a consultation the
animal is checked from the feet upwards and from the nose to the tail, so it is all encompassing. In  many cases an animal has learnt to compensate from an old injury
in the leg for example and  over time this manifests itself into pain elsewhere i.e.
along the spine. In such cases the area  of pain and the root cause is treated.

The Osteopathic treatment consists of a variety of techniques, including articulation
of  joints, soft tissue work, stretching, facial release and manipulation is used if appropriate.

For more detail on what osteopathy can treat it is advisable to discuss with Emily a particular case, as Osteopathy is very individual and so the treatment is tailor made
for each animal.
