osteopathic manual therapy
Osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy that focuses on re-aligning the body and restoring movement. Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help restore health to all systems of the body, not just musculoskeletal aches and pains by clearing the pathways for proper supply and drainage.
Osteopathy treats bones, joints, and muscles to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal.
