Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment of problems of the musculoskeletal system, that is the bones, muscles and joints of our body. Osteopathic Treatment consists of work on muscles with soft tissue massage and joints with articulation techniques and manipulation. Osteopaths mainly use their hands to treat but we also give exercises and postural advice.
