Osteopathy is a holistic therapeutic approach that aims to restore balance and functionality to the body using gentle manual techniques. It views the body as an interconnected whole, where different parts and systems are closely linked. Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body has an innate ability to self-heal and maintain its equilibrium, and that physical dysfunctions can lead to health issues. Osteopaths use manipulation, mobilization, and relaxation techniques to address movement restrictions, muscle tension, and structural imbalances. The goal is to restore mobility, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, and enhance the body's natural capacity for regeneration and healing.
