About Osteopathy
with Eli Matthews
"I am a structural osteopath who qualified in 2020 with a master’s degree (Msc) in osteopathy from Swansea University. I am qualified to treat a wide range of injuries with a special interest in sports injuries and rehabilitation.
As part of my training, I have worked in both private and NHS clinics which has given exposure to a wide range of medical conditions.
In my spare time I practice Brazilian jiujitsu and have competed in several running events including tough guy and man vs mountain."
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
​
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. (source GOsC)
