What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a term used to describe the soft manipulation of troubled body tissue. Manipulating and massaging techniques are used throughout the treatment to alleviate the pain and get your body back into shape. Rather than treating just the symptoms, osteopathic services look at correcting the actual problem, helping you achieve longer-term health reassurance.
