CONCEPTS OF OSTEOPATHY

Osteopath manual therapists believe that abnormal functioning of one area of the body can cause symptoms to present elsewhere in the body; the theory of TENSEGRITY. When the body is in balance, there is no excess stress. But when stress is produced in the body – causing imbalances – it can be amplified in other areas. Osteopathic manual therapists acknowledge that the body can heal itself and support the process by removing obstacles in the body.

By investigating and paying attention to the alterations in the body (joints, ligaments, muscles, bones, connective tissue and organs), an osteopathic manual therapist is able to interpret whole patterns of aches, pains and general health concerns. The goal of osteopathy is to restore normal movement so the body can repair itself naturally.
