Manual Osteopathy
Manual osteopathy is a form of hands-on therapy that aims to improve overall health and well-being by addressing musculoskeletal issues and promoting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
What is Manual Osteopathy?
Manual Osteopathy is a form of drug-free, non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles, and spine. It aims to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.
This therapy is a unique holistic (whole body) approach to health care. Manual Osteopaths do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area but use manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body to provide overall good health and well-being.
he body is restricted. In that case, the rest of the body must adapt and compensate for this, eventually leading to inflammation, pain, stiffness, and other health conditions. When the body is free of restrictions in movement, Manual Osteopathic treatment assists the body with pain minimization, reduces stress, and greater mobility providing the body with the opportunity to heal itself. Manual Osteopaths use a broad range of gentle hands-on techniques, including soft tissue stretching, deep tactile pressure, and mobilization or manipulation of joints.
