Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve health across all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework.   

Manual osteopathy is a system of health care that focuses on osteopathic diagnosis and treatment of the physical body’s structure to optimise physiological functioning. Manual palpation and Osteopathic therapy are used in conjunction with biomechanical, orthopaedic, and neurological clinical assessment.

An osteopath will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Osteopathy is a complementary therapy. It is used alongside conventional treatment to improve health. Osteopathy is one of the fastest growing healthcare professions in the United States (U.S.). Osteopathy uses a drug-free, non-invasive form of manual medicine that focuses on the health of the whole body, not just the injured or affected part. Osteopathic intervention can help treat arthritis, back pain,shoulder and neck pain, headaches, tennis elbow, digestive issues, and postural problems. 

Treatment can also assist with sleep cycles and the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic symptoms.
