Osteopathy
Osteopathy: An Overview
Osteopathy is an integral component of rehab that focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders through manual techniques. By understanding the body’s interrelation of structure and function, osteopathy offers a holistic approach to healing.
How Does Osteopathy Work?
Osteopathy employs hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat restrictions in the body’s structure. This treatment promotes natural healing by restoring balance, enhancing blood flow, and alleviating pain, thereby improving overall health and well-being.
