ABOUT OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive form of manual therapy that is based on the structure and function relationship of the body. It is a principles-based practice which acknowledges and understands the body's natural ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Osteopathic assessment and treatment aims to find the underlying cause behind the presenting symptoms.
Osteopathy addresses the structural dysfunction that is causing abnormal physiological function (your symptoms). Through coordination, realignment, and restoration of motion of the soft tissues of the body (fascia, muscles, ligaments, etc.), the function of the blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels is restored.
