What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic form of manual therapy that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. Rather than treating just the site of pain, your osteopath works to identify and address the root cause — often hidden in posture, circulation, or joint restrictions.
Using gentle, hands-on techniques, we aim to
- Improve joint mobility
- Reduce muscle and fascial tension
- Stimulate lymphatic and blood circulation
- Restore nervous system function
- Promote the body’s self-healing mechanisms
Interesting fact: osteopathy has been in practice for over 140 years and has since been incorporated globally and is useful in treating lower back pain, Osteopathic stress therapy and much more.Fun fact: Osteopathy was developed over 140 years ago, and it’s now used worldwide to treat everything from back pain to stress-related fatigue.
