General information

Leagrave Therapy provides osteopathy, sports massage, walking analysis and medical acupuncture within Milton Keynes at CMK Therapy.

Osteopathy is a process focusing on diagnosis, rehabilitation and preventing disorders primarily of the body’s musculoskeletal system which includes joints, muscles, nerves and ligaments.

The therapy is recognised as a primary healthcare profession and a manual medicine based on the clinical experiences of the American founder, Andrew Taylor Still (1828 – 1917). He composed the term osteopathy, which derives from the Greek language ‘osteon’ meaning bone and ‘pathos’ which means suffering.

Osteopathic medicine emphasises the relationship between the body’s structures that govern function. Osteopaths recognise that the body has a natural self healing mechanism and will observe the patient as a unit physically, psychologically and spiritually.

Osteopaths use a wide range of hands-on treatment techniques including massage mobilisation or manipulation of joints, reinforced with lifestyle guidance, exercise and postural advice.
