Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating, and preventing health problems by moving, stretching, and massaging a person’s muscles and joints. By positively affecting and balancing the nervous system, which is in close relationship with all of the other systems of the body, manual osteopathy is very helpful in the resolution of many health conditions.
Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching, and massage with the aim of:
‣ Increasing the mobility of joints
‣ Relieving muscle tension
‣ Enhancing the blood supply to tissues
‣ Helping the body to heal
‣ They use a range of techniques, but not drugs or surgery.
