What is Osteopathy?
Founded 150 years ago by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, Osteopathy teaches that the body is a self-healing unit with a close correlation between structure and function. Osteopathic techniques help the body recover naturally and are proven effective for chronic back pain. Daily physical stressors can cause the body to lose its natural alignment. An osteopath, with extensive knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics, works to restore the body's natural positioning. Osteopathy believes a bodily component is always involved in disease and aims to adjust it to restore health. It offers techniques for various body parts, benefiting patients, athletes, and seniors by enhancing performance, preventing injuries, and resolving chronic pain. Remember! The solution is within you, and osteopathy helps reveal it.
