Osteopathy

What is Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a patient centered whole body approach to healthcare that recognizes the importance of the relationship between the structure of the body and the way it functions.

Osteopathy uses palpation and manual techniques when diagnosing and treating structural and mechanical imbalances to release and realign the body. This hands on approach not only works with the body framework: bones, muscles, joints, connective tissue and tendons, it also works with internal organs to aid in your general health. Since Osteopathy emphasizes on the interrelationship of structure and function by treating the body framework and organs it helps to restore and maintain health by changing circulation, metabolism, digestion, lymphatic drainage and respiration.

Osteopathic treatment effectively relieves pain, improves posture, restores mobility and significantly improves the quality of life for many patients. Osteopathy restores proper body mechanics and health is the focus instead of the symptoms.

Since Osteopathic treatment focuses on each individual’s needs and body type and a wide variety of approaches and techniques are used it is beneficial for anyone. Children through to the elderly are treated as well as manual labourers and office workers.
