The practice of osteopathy involves the careful and specific application of highly developed sense of touch in both the diagnosis and the treatment of mechanical problems affecting any part of the body. This, combined with a detailed understanding of human anatomy, physiology and pathological processes and a thorough working knowledge of classical clinical examination methods, allows the osteopath to treat patients by facilitating and promoting the body’s self-healing mechanisms.

Osteopathy is a safe and natural therapy that concentrates on the structure of the human body. Osteopaths use their hands to treat the muscles and joints so as to improve the mechanics of the body. Osteopaths are well known for their treatment of back pain, but improving the mechanics of the body will also relieve a wide range of conditions.
