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 gentle manual techniques to diagnose issues and restore order to the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, reproductive or nervous systems. Stress urinary incontinence can affect people of all ages for various reasons like pregnancy, weight, smoking or other medical conditions, and an osteopath can help treat it naturally without medication.
