Our Holistic Approach
As a drug-free and non-invasive manual therapy, classical osteopathy is a method of assessing and treating by reestablishing structural and functional homeostasis. “Osteo” means Bone, but Osteopathy assesses and treats the whole body from head to toe including bones, ligaments, muscle, fascia, skin, viscera, and more. It is based on the principle that health and well-being thrives best when all these parts are structurally and functionally in balance.
Osteopathy uses soft touch, gentle physical manipulation, stretching, massage, and muscle activation techniques to increase the mobility of joints and relieve muscle tension. This enhances the blood and nerve supply to tissues and improves the body’s own healing mechanisms.
