What is Osteopathy?

What is osteopathy?

A lot of people have heard of osteopathy but are unsure of what it actual entails or involves.People hear Osteo and immediately assume its something to do with bones. Osteopathy, or more specifically manual osteopathy, is an approach to treatment that focuses on the structural and functional integrity of the musculoskeletal system.The Osteopathic approach looks as the whole body as a unit when it comes to treatment rather than just  focusing on the presenting injury.This is a very valuable approach as it often can show the practitioner potential contributing factors to an injury which are often overlooked by following a basic, treat the site of the injury approach.
