Manual Osteopathy
What is Manual Osteopathy?
A gentle hands-on therapy based on a key principle: your body is designed to heal itself. We believe that all parts of your body work together as one connected system- when one area struggles, it affects your whole wellbeing.
Think of your body as a river system:
- Just as a river needs to flow freely, your body needs good circulation.
- Like tributaries connecting to the main river, all your body’s systems are connected.
- When there’s a blockage in one area, it affects the whole flow.
Our approach:
- Find and release restriction that block your body’s natural healing.
- Treat root causes, not just symptoms
- Work with the whole body - fascia, joints, organs, and nervous system.
Believes that structure and function are deeply connected - how your body is aligned affects how well it works.
