History of Osteopathy - Osteopathy Information
Posted by admin under Health
Osteopaths use a wide variety of approaches to treatment and can bring relief or improvement to many conditions affecting, for example, children, the elderly, sportsmen and women.
Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. Osteopathy is a branch of mainstream medicine that follows the philosophy that the body is a whole system. Osteopaths are trained in palpation and manipulation techniques to diagnose and treat various illnesses and dysfunctions. The body has the ability to heal itself and the Osteopath is the facilitator in that process.
