Osteopathy is a non-invasive manual therapy which strengthens the framework of the body by working with all systems of the body to bring you back into proper alignment so that your body can self-regulate and self-heal. Used alongside traditional medicine, osteopathy is a gentle yet effective technique which helps with anything from a small pain to a neurological disease and can benefit everybody. Treatments are safe, effective and relaxing. First introduced by founder A.T. Stills in the 1870s, osteopathy is a science, a philosophy, and a practice.
