The Barnsole Road Osteopathic Practice is a leading Osteopath in Kent and The Medway Towns. Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structure and function of the body. An Osteopath views the body as a whole unit, each part relating to each other part to contribute to overall function.
If the structure is in good working order, the body will function well and be able to maintain, heal and repair itself. If structure is strained or injured, then function and self healing mechanisms will be adversely affected, thus producing pain inflammation and restriction in movement. Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints.

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.
Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body's own healing mechanisms.They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

It is a common belief that babies and children have no structural or functional stresses. However the reality is different. Birth is the most stressful event that we will experience in our lives. The baby is subjected to enormous forces as the uterus pushes to expel the baby against the natural resistance of the birth canal.
Whether you are an enthusiastic amateur, an elite professional, a gym junkie or simply like to keep fit, sports injuries do occur. Many sport injuries are the result of overuse through playing too hard and too often, but occasionally incorrect equipment is the problem like ill-fitting footwear which can cause hip, knee and foot injury.
The Perrin Technique has been developed to diagnose CFS/ME by identifying definite physical signs and to treat the disorder by improving drainage of these poisons from the central nervous system. Raymond Perrin's research at the University of Salford in conjunction with the University of Manchester has provided strong evidence that an important component of CFS/ME involves a disturbance of lymphatic drainage of the brain and muscles.
