What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a system of healing that recognises that much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease.

How does Osteopathy work?

Osteopathy works on the principle that good health requires equilibrium in body and mind. If there are misplaced vertebrae this will lead to health problems. However the therapy does not focus solely on physical healing. It is important for the patient to change their lifestyle in order to obtain equilibrium.
