Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that recognizes the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. It is a non-invasive hands-on treatment that focuses on removing restrictions and tension in the body to restore proper movement, alignment, function and balance. The body is assessed as a whole, as symptoms do not always occur where the issue is. The body operates as a single functional unit with all the body systems such as the musculoskeletal, digestive, reproductive, circulatory and nervous systems. By detecting imbalances we treat the cause, not just symptoms. All treatments are done over the clothes!
​
Clients typically describe treatments as a mix between massage therapy, physiotherapy and chiropractics!
