Osteopathy is a therapeutic method that restores the holistic integrity of the whole body. Osteopathic practitioners use various hands-on techniques to fortify and balance bodily systems to promote good health and general well-being.

The principles of osteopathy are based on the relationships between the structure and function of the body, as well as understanding the connections between all the tissues, fluids, and systems of the body.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Osteopathy offers several benefits for the body. It aids in the circulation of the body’s fluids, including blood and lymph, reducing harmful fluid retention and boosting the body’s immune system. Additionally, practitioners employ myofascial release techniques. Fascia, the fibrous sub-cutaneous tissues connecting muscles with muscle groups and other organs in the body, are evaluated for areas of restriction. Subsequently, soft tissue manipulation is applied to relieve tension and promote overall health
