What does Osteopathy treat?
Osteopathy treats the person, not the disease. Complaints of any sort are usually cured, or at the least improved. In addition the body is balanced as a whole, reducing the chance of recurrence and also reducing the risk of more serious disease. I often get people coming to me who have not been helped by medicine or other physical therapies. Osteopathy is a complete system of medicine and looks at the body in a completely different way to other therapies, understanding the anatomy and physiology in a superior way and treating the body as a whole. It's techniques are also superior to any other manual therapy, the subtlety yet effectiveness very pleasantly surprises most people.
