Osteopathy is a whole-body approach to health that looks at the body as an interconnected system. Its founder, Andrew Taylor Still, observed that all living things function as part of a greater whole, and that balance and harmony are essential for health. He applied these ideas to the human body, creating a gentle, holistic way of supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and function at its best. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners consider a person’s physical, emotional, and even subtle aspects to identify the root causes of discomfort or imbalance. Using skilled hands, they work with soft tissue, joints, the craniosacral system, and organs to restore movement, function, and vitality. While many techniques are shared with other therapies, what makes osteopathy unique is its focus on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, helping the body work better and feel better, naturally.
