Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of treatment for musculoskeletal disorders and pain. Ideal Health’s osteopaths are also skilled in providing necessary functional and therapeutic exercises to help alleviate your condition and prevent future issues.

The reception of Ideal Health’s osteopaths is based on evidence-based medical knowledge, so examinations always rely on understanding anatomy, the origin of musculoskeletal disorders, and neurology. Osteopaths undergo a four-year university-level education, and all of our osteopaths are registered healthcare professionals with VALVIRA.

Our osteopaths have extensive experience in treating athletes from various sports and understanding the demands of different sports. As a result, osteopathy is a preferred treatment method for elite athletes from different sports. However, our clinic welcomes anyone suffering from musculoskeletal issues, regardless of age, background, or condition. On our osteopaths we also have an expertise in pain sciences and treatment of patients with chronic pain.

We always take into account the client’s situation as a whole and collaborate with them to build a treatment plan together.

Typically, during an osteopath’s consultation, we approach the client’s problem in a way that empowers the client to take control of their pain management.

A key aspect of an osteopath’s expertise is precise clinical examination. Only through thorough examination can we accurately target dysfunctional tissues and rule out any risk factors that may hinder treatment.

At Ideal Health, our osteopaths’ approach is firmly grounded in medical science, so our examinations are always based on a thorough understanding of functional anatomy, radiographic diagnostics, and neurology.

The training of an osteopath equips them with the skills to perform hundreds of different clinical tests when investigating the root cause of a problem.

Based on their clinical examination, an osteopath can guide their clients to the most suitable specialist or general practitioner for further investigations if needed. In most cases, they can provide insight into the cause of the condition, the perpetuating factor, when referring for further investigations. When coming for osteopathic treatment, please bring any relevant medical reports, MRI or X-ray images.
