What is Manual Osteopathy?
The goal of Manual Osteopathic Therapy is to regain the balance of structure and ensure physiological function. Manual Osteopathy is a form of alternative health treatment using gentle hands-on techniques for investigation and treatments of various body dysfunctions. The philosophy of Manual Osteopath is that the human body works as a unit to restore and prevent dis-ease. The treatment methods focus on reversing dysfunctions in the body through various non invasive manipulative techniques in the areas of Osteoartulations, Fascial release, CranioSacral, Lymphatic movement or Visceral Manipulations.

Restriction and dysfunction affect our self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms of the body. Manual Osteopathic Therapists aim to restore health by finding the cause of dysfunction versus just eliminating the symptoms.
