Osteopathy is a primary healthcare system, complementary to other medical practices.
Osteopaths primarily work through the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, mostly on muscles and joints, and pay special attention to how the internal organs affect, and are affected by that system. Relevant psychological and social factors also form part of the diagnosis.
Osteopathy is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to alleviating an enormous range of conditions in children, pregnant women, the elderly, shop, office and manual workers, professionals, dancers and sports people. Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques, and some specific adjustments affecting joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments).
When the body is balanced and working efficiently, just like a well-tuned engine, wear and tear will be kept to a minimum, leaving more energy for living.
