Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic healthcare practice that uses manual therapy to treat and strengthen the musculoskeletal system, promoting overall health by enhancing body alignment and mobility.
Osteopathy is a science of healing which places an emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body. It relies on manual contact for structural diagnosis and treatment. Osteopathy is a patient-centered form of health care rather than disease-centered.
Osteopathic practitioners utilize a wide variety of therapeutic manual techniques dictated by their understanding of osteopathic principles and the structural individuality of each client. Through manual manipulation, osteopathic practitioners can influence all areas of the body in order to optimize the body’s intrinsic self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms.
