Osteopathy is a hands-on manual therapy treatment method that looks at the way the body functions as a whole, rather than viewing its parts or symptoms separately.  Osteopathy emphasizes a holistic and comprehensive approach to patient care and utilizes spinal mobilization and manual therapy articulation techniques of musculoskeletal tissues to help facilitate recovery.  Osteopathy is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments, connective tissue and nervous system functioning smoothly together.
