Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy which works in combination with the individuals own homeostatic mechanisms to help restore balance and optimal health. It works with the understanding that the way the body is able to function is inseparable from the way it is structured.
All aspects of the body must remain in optimal balance and work together in order to maintain health. When an imbalance develops in the body, whether that be with the joints, muscles, or other tissues, this ultimately leads to pain and dysfunction. The osteopathic approach is able to identify the root cause of the problem, and address the person as a whole to improve the structure and function of the body, to help reduce chronic pain and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Osteopathic Practitioners support the body’s ability to restore and maintain health by using skilled palpation and manual techniques to influence muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissue, circulation and internal organs.
