Osteopathy uses gentle pressure to manipulate your joints, muscles, and other soft tissues. The main focus of osteopathy is to allow your body to tap into its innate healing abilities. 

Practitioners of osteopathy have extensive training in anatomy and physiology and understand how to properly align bones and muscle tissue. 

Osteopathy treats the person holistically, so the practitioner will often provide advice on posture, stretching and lifestyle to help promote healing and to prevent symptoms recurring.
