Osteopathy
What is it
Osteopathy is a form of drug-free, non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joint, muscles, and spine. Its aim is to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
This therapy is a unique, holistic (whole body) approach to health care. Osteopaths do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body, to provide overall good health and well being
Benefits of Osteopathy
Osteopathic treatment is itself is not 'preventative'. Osteopaths respect the body's natural ability as a self-regulating mechanism and only intervene when pain or discomfort is present.
The benefits of Osteopathy is the general improvement in mobility and structural stability of the body. In turn, other systems of the body such as the circulatory, nervous, and lymphatic systems function more effectively and for a number of general conditions, minimal treatment is required.
