Osteopathy treats the body structure – muscles and joints – in order to improve the health of the whole person. A safe and natural manual therapy focuses on gentle manipulation of the soft tissues of the body and on mobilization and adjustment of the spine and other joints. By treating and balancing the structure, osteopaths can improve nerve supply, blood circulation, and lymphatic drainage to joints, muscles, limbs, and organs. This is highly beneficial for conditions affecting the body framework. But it can also enhance the function of many organs and offer relief to those with digestive disorders, menstrual complaints, general fatigue, asthma and stress related illness.
