Wellbeing A-Z -Osteopathy

Osteopathy, founded by Andrew Taylor Still, is a holistic medical practice focusing on the whole body rather than just the musculoskeletal system. Osteopaths trace the effects of localized injuries throughout the body and use techniques like stretches and counter resistance instead of chiropractic manipulations. They aim to realign the body for optimal health. Spinal alignment is crucial, as misalignments can lead to various health issues. The cranial sacral technique, though less common, is used for energy-based healing. Osteopathy is effective, often requiring fewer sessions for recovery.
