Manual osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on therapy focusing on the body's interconnectedness, using gentle techniques like soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilization, and Cranial Sacral Therapy to find and treat the root cause of pain and dysfunction, aiming to restore balance and stimulate the body's innate self-healing ability by improving nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic system function. Practitioners assess and treat the entire body, not just symptoms, addressing musculoskeletal issues, headaches, injuries, and chronic pain.
