Osteopathy is a health profession which involves the diagnosis and treatment of structural and mechanical dysfunctions of the body.
Osteopathy recognises that the body is an intrinsically self-healing, self-regulating and self correcting organism. Osteopaths believe that physical imbalances and strains can impair the ability of the body to maintain itself in a state of health.
Osteopaths do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance interrelated systems of the body to improve health and well-being.
