What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body. Osteopaths are functional anatomists who use manual therapy. They find the health, rather than focus on disease. Osteopathic treatment works to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and the circulation of body fluids.
What Do I Wear To My Appointment?
You should wear athletic clothing, something you can move around in easily. Dress clothes, denim, dresses, skirts, and layers are not ideal for movement.
How Will I Feel After My Treatment?
Each persons response to treatment is different, you may feel immediate relief, you may feel some soreness as the body and its components have been moved.
