What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy?

Osteopathic manual therapy focuses on treating the whole body by identifying and addressing the root cause of pain or dysfunction. This approach uses various hands techniques to help restore the natural alignment of muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Unlike conventional therapies that target symptoms, osteopathy works holistically to support your body’s natural healing processes.
