Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating, and preventing health problems by moving, stretching, and massaging a person’s muscles and joints. By positively affecting and balancing the nervous system, which is in close relationship with all of the other systems of the body, manual osteopathy is very helpful in the resolution of many health conditions.
Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and massage with the aim of: increasing the mobility of joints.
