What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy which focuses on the relationship between structure and function within the body and that all aspects of the body must work together to maintain health. Osteopaths view the body as a self-regulating, interrelated system and believe that through manual osteopathic therapy the body can return to normal and health state.
