What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to health that links the body’s structure and function. Founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in the late 19th century, this method uses manual therapy, lifestyle advice, and health education to address a wide range of issues. Osteopathy treats the entire body as an interconnected system, aiming to support and enhance natural healing processes rather than just masking symptoms.
Techniques Used in Osteopathy:
- Soft Tissue Manipulation: Relieves muscle tension and boosts circulation.
- Articulation: Increases joint flexibility through gentle movements.
- High Velocity, Low Amplitude Thrusts: Enhances joint mobility with precise, quick movements.
- Cranial Osteopathy: Gentle adjustments focusing on the central nervous system.
