Osteopathy is an established system of clinical diagnosis and manual treatment, which examines the whole of the person, not just the symptoms, in searching for the cause of the problem.
In particular, Osteopathy is concerned with the function and movement of the many inter-related structures and tissues in the body. Osteopaths can detect and treat injured tissues such as muscles, ligaments, nerves, joints, and deeper connective tissue. By restoring the natural movement patterns in these tissues, many conditions throughout the body can be addressed.
Osteopathy is well known for the treatment of back, neck and shoulder problems. It also works very well on any area of the body, including extremities and the abdomen.
