What is Body Adjustment?

Body Adjustment is a tune-up for the entire body, coordinating all its structures and functions and taking stress off the skeletal system and organs. It was developed by world famous osteopath, the late Mr John Wernham, building on the great success of the early American osteopaths, and with a solid scientific foundation. It is practical and usually painless, and mainly involves gentle but focused movement, articulation and mobilisation, to realign skeletal structures and other connective tissue as a coordinated whole.

Some post-treatment soreness can occur. This is temporary and benign and is generally accepted to be a part of the healing process. You may be set some homework, and lifestyle changes may be suggested to support the process.

You are also advised to communicate to your practitioner any developments as soon as they occur, not waiting for the next appointment, since navigating the healing response is an important aspect of the work.

Body Adjustment provides a tried-and-tested framework for approaching all kinds of health problems from the very simple to the very complex, and is suitable for all ages. Because it is concerned with complex causes, it can safely reach situations where other more symptom-based approaches can disappoint. The result is many happy patients who have got better, stayed better and regained their independence in health.
