Osteopathy is a manual medicine which seeks to restore proper alignment, function and movement to the body. This is achieved by identifying areas in the body where there is movement and where there is a lack of movement. Where there is a lack of movement is an indication that there is reduced health within the tissue. Osteopathic therapists use their hands to achieve this by eliminating restriction (lack of movement)   in the tissue, which improves circulation to and from the tissue, and permits optimal health. By achieving this state within the body it decreases pain, improves mobility, and recovery time due to injury. Osteopathic therapists assess the body as a whole, such as; joints, muscles, ligaments, bones, organs and fluids (ex. blood, lymphetc.).
