Osteopathic Manual Therapy
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body's musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, or osteopaths, use hands-on techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent health issues. They aim to improve overall health by enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Osteopathic treatments involve gentle manual adjustments, stretching, and soft tissue manipulation. This approach can be beneficial for various conditions, including back pain, joint pain, headaches, and digestive issues. Osteopathy emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body's systems and often considers lifestyle factors, such as diet and stress, to promote optimal wellness.
