What is Osteopathy?

 

Osteopathy is an established system of complete treatment, which was founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in 1874. Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, was an American Medical Doctor, Surgeon, and Architect.  In the western world, Dr. Still is widely considered the first physician to treat each client as a whole, while searching for the cause of dysfunction rather than treating just their symptoms.

 

Osteopathy is a "hands-on therapy" (no surgery or medication) that uses gentle techniques to mobilize the joints and tissues of the body to achieve optimum health.  This in turn, improves the function of the nervous, circulatory and immune systems and allows for faster healing, reduction of pain, congestion and restriction within the body.

 

Osteopathy is not the same as chiropractic or physiotherapy.  Osteopaths take into account, not only the individual's physical symptoms, but also the individual's lifestyle.  Most clients report relief in two to three treatment sessions.

 

Osteopathy is recognized and covered by health insurance providers and offers an effective treatment method for all ages.
