Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment which although
focuses on mechanical problems of the body frame, (such as back pain) also
allows for the involvement of visceral disturbances (such as organs of the
body), and whole person factors (such as stress and emotional
disturbances).
Osteopaths are trained to identify the source of symptoms and the
nature of tissue disturbances, whilst at the same time assessing how this
has physically effected the whole body. Although this is similar to a
medical diagnosis, treatment plans are designed around practical
'hands-on' techniques. | | |
