What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a primary healthcare system, complementary to other medical practices. It is is a gentle manipulative therapy based on knowledge of anatomy and physiology. It is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to alleviating an enormous range of conditions.
Osteopaths use case history and a highly trained sense of palpation to assess and treat areas of body dysfunction.
How an Osteopath works...
Osteopaths primarily work through the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, mostly on muscles and joints, and pay special attention to how the internal organs affect, and are affected by, that system. Relevant psychological and social factors also form part of the diagnosis. Another important principle of osteopathy is that the body has its own self-healing mechanisms, which can be utilised as part of the treatment.
