What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to health that involves assessing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing a range of health issues. Osteopaths use a specialized touch technique called palpation to evaluate posture, joints, skin, muscle tone, and internal organs. Based on their findings, they will discuss a personalized treatment plan, which may involve several sessions depending on whether the condition is acute or chronic.

 

Osteopathic Manipulative Techniques (OMT) are drug-free and non-invasive, focusing on facilitating the body’s natural self-regulating mechanisms to address tissue strain, stress, or dysfunction. These techniques integrate the musculoskeletal, visceral, and craniosacral systems to promote overall health and work in harmony with other medical treatments.

Osteopathy takes a holistic, drug-free, whole-body approach to take the health of a person to its optimum level, by integrating musculoskeletal, visceral (organs) system and craniosacral (nervous system) together.
