What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of dysfunction in the body. These dysfunctions can interfere with your body’s natural ability to self-heal and self-regulate. By restoring proper structure and function, osteopathy supports the body’s natural healing processes.
Founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, osteopathy is guided by four foundational principles:
-
The body is a unit.
All systems in the body are interconnected. No part can be treated in isolation—every system influences the others.
-
The body has the ability to self-heal and self-regulate.
Once obstructions are removed, the body can return to balance and function optimally.
-
Structure and function are interrelated.
A change in structure will affect how the body functions, and changes in function can alter structure.
-
Osteopathic treatment is based on these principles.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual, addressing the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.
