What is Osteopahty?

osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare which primarily focuses on the treatment of your musculoskeletal system (muscles, joints, fascia, ligaments and connective tissue), internal organs, and nervous system.

Osteopathy is unique from other forms of manual therapies in its approach to diagnosis and treatment. It considers whole body as a unit and places emphasis on effective and efficient movements of all body tissues and structures, which contribute to health by enhancing the body’s self-repair mechanisms.

Osteopaths can identify various types of dysfunction in your body through skilled evaluation and use a wide range of hands-on treatment techniques. This includes stretching and massaging the general soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) with mobilisation of specific joints and soft tissues.

Many benefits of osteopathy include :

  • Maintains general health and well-being
  • Promotes better joint and muscle health (improves function and relieves pain)
  • Improves posture
  • Improves body’s resistance to disease
  • Better comfort during pregnancy
