Osteopathy is a treatment philosophy that seeks to identify and gently ease restrictions in the body to allow normal function to resume. It views the body as a unified whole so that problems in one area can affect others. An osteopath uses a gentle hands-on approach and manual therapy to diagnose issues and restore balance to the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular and other bodily systems. Stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence, and mixed incontinence can be treated with an osteopathic approach.

3. Osteopathy is a treatment philosophy which seeks
to identify areas of the body that are restricted or
constricted, then gently ease these restrictions so
that normal function can resume.

4.  Osteopathy is allied with, but not the same
as, chiropractic or physiotherapy.
 A chiropractor or physiotherapist use some
different methods of assessing and treating a
patient. Osteopathy has its own unique
philosophy.
 This states that the body is a unified whole.
On a practical level, this means that problems
in any one part of the body will affect other
parts.
This is why osteopathy doesn’t just treat a problem locally, it looks at the
body as a whole to find and treat The cause of a problem!

6.  Osteopathy applies the knowledge of the
structure (anatomy) and function
(physiology) of the body, to all diseases,
disorders and dysfunctions.

7. The tools Osteopathic manual practitioners use
a gentle “hands-on” or “manual” approach,
applied through osteopathic philosophy, to
identify the causative factor of the problem
and restore order to all of the systems:
musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular,
digestive, reproductive, or nervous system.

8.  A key part of osteopathic medicine is a technique
called OMT, or osteopathic manipulative
treatment.
 OMT allows the osteopath to use their hands as a
primary tool to diagnose and treat illness and
injury. This form of manual medicine lets
osteopaths examine the back and other parts of
the body, such as joints, tendons, ligaments, and
muscles, for pain and restriction during motion
that could signal an injury or impaired function.
