Osteopathy is a system of health care that focuses on the treatment of the physical body, the joints, muscles and connective tissue with gentle hands on manipulation incorporating such techniques as soft tissue massage, stretching, spinal manipulation, balance ligament tension, cranial osteopathy and exercises to improve the body's functional capacity and self healing properties.
