What is Osteopathy?

Is Osteopathy new?

The modern roots of Osteopathy date back to 1872. Dr. A.T Still, a Physician, believed the body was created as a perfect harmonious whole and contained the basics necessary for its own healing. He developed a system for stimulating the immune system naturally. He eliminated the use of addictive and toxic drugs from his practice and considered surgery a last resort as a means of treatment. The first Osteopaths came to Australia in 1908 from the U.S.A.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a manual medicine that focuses on the treatment of the physical body, the joints, muscles and connective tissue with a variety of hands on techniques such as deep massage, stretching and manipulation. This, in turn, affects the functioning of the whole body via connections with the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Osteopaths also offer you personal advice on stretching and strengthening exercises, posture, diet, lifting procedures and stress management.
