Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the interrelationship between the body’s structure and function. Osteopaths use their hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent health problems by moving, stretching, and massaging a person’s muscles and joints. This approach helps to improve circulation, relieve pain, and promote overall health and well-being.

Osteopathy is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths believe that the body has its own healing mechanisms and that their role is to support and enhance these processes.
