A holistic system of diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues.
The founding principles of osteopathy recognise that the body is incredibly resilient and usually capable of self-healing. Acute traumas or the repetitive stresses of modern-day living can take its toll on the body’s reservoir of adaptation and compensation. The role of osteopathy is to create space for the body’s natural healing processes to take over. This is achieved using a mixture of manual techniques including joint manipulation, soft-tissue work and stretching.
