“I view every patient as an individual and unique case - as every case is relative to a patient’s lifestyle and condition”

For this reason, Arjun tailors treatment plans and rehabilitation exercises to the patient’s specific needs. He believes in treating patients holistically, rather than just with the presenting symptoms.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

 

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. The methods work with the structure and fuctions of the body - based on the princple that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning together smoothly.

One of our key principles is that "structure governs function" therefore, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well.

 It is the philosophy of Osteopathy that sets it apart from other medical disciplines. The key principles are based on all parts of the body functioning together in an integrated manner. If one part of the body is restricted, then the rest of the body must adapt and compensate for this, eventually leading to inflammation, pain, stiffness and other health conditions. When the body is free of restrictions in movement, Osteopathic treatment assists the body with pain minimization, reduces stress and greater mobility providing the body with the opportunity to heal itself.

Think of your body as a car, for your car to work at its optimal potential your mechanic will ensure that all the different parts of the car including the engine, engine fluid, pipes, and radiator are all working at their best level. With all the different car parts working well as a unit your car will run at its optimal state for longer and with fewer issues (or time spent waiting for the AA!)

A common misconception is that Osteopaths only deal with back problems. In reality we treat all joints and areas of the body. Osteopaths use a heightened sense of touch (palpation) and muscle orientated manual techniques, such as gentle massage, deep tissue massage, muscle targeted therapy, stretching, muscle and joint manipulations and joint articulation. These techniques will enhance the blood and nerve supply to the tissues to relieve muscular tension. Osteopaths employ the use of a holistic approach to all patients; we will look at how other factors may be the root cause of your symptoms and how to combat these through our treatments, whether it’s exercise, postural evaluations, ergonomic setup or stress management.
