What is Osteopathy

What is osteopathy?


At Anthony Kanutin Osteopaths in Westcliff-on-Sea, our mission is to look after the health and wellbeing of our patients.

Should I see an osteopath?

  • Osteopathy is an established recognised system of diagnosis and treatment
  • It examines the structure and function of the body and how the parts of the body (bones, joints, ligaments, discs, muscles, tendons and nerves) work together
  • A breakdown of the body’s normal working patterns can result in unnecessary stress, strain and pain
  • This can be caused by one major event or the cumulative effect of repetitive minor strains
  • An osteopath assesses each patient’s individual normal mechanical working pattern and, by gentle manipulation of bones, joints, and soft tissues, works to remove restrictions which may be preventing normal mobility, blood flow, nerve supply or muscle activity
  • This will in turn help to alleviate the symptoms


How can we help you?


Stop worrying about your pain, feel in control.



Once you understand your problem and the reasons for it occurring, it becomes easier to move forward knowing what to do, and, of equal importance, what things need to be changed.


 We will offer ongoing support, as well as osteopathic treatment, including advice on whatever issues appear relevant e.g. exercises, diet, stress, management, posture, hobbies, etc.


 The wonderful thing about seeing our Southend osteopaths is that you get time to be listened to. Having this time to talk to our osteopaths enables us to gain insights into what factors have contributed to create their problem.


Please contact Anthony Kanutin Osteopaths in Westcliff-on-Sea for more details.

Why osteopathy?

Are you in pain? Although you want to rid yourself of the pain, and that will be our primary initial focus too, the important thing is to remove as best as possible the reasons for it being there in the first place. That way it will hopefully not come back.


 As osteopaths we are trained to look not just at the cause of a problem, but also the pre-disposing and maintaining factors.


Suffering from stress and tension?


Stress can often cause muscles to tighten up, affecting your posture and causing neck and upper back pain. Modern living and spending all day using a computer can also have the same effect.


Osteopathic treatment can help you, and we can give you advice including  working from home advice to minimise these problems.

"After my husband suffered a car accident at work he has had very limited mobility for over a year, after finding Anthony I cannot recommend him enough. With only a few sessions my husband has gained more mobility in a few weeks then he has had all year. Anthony's professionalism, understanding and attention to detail has enabled us to regain more of an understanding of the diagnosis and more importantly gave my husband a little bit of his life back. I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing more improvement in the coming weeks."
