Osteopathy
In 1874, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still had a vision in America that led to the discovery of osteopathy. Today, osteopathic manual practitioners practice in many different nations across the globe. Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy approach to healing. Numerous body maladies and complaints can be addressed using osteopathy. One of the key principles of osteopathy is that structure and function are related on all levels. The body function improves when symmetry and movement capability increase in the structure. Treatments are performed through gentle manual adjustments which may include many osteopathic techniques such as muscle energy, strain counterstrain, stretching, and post isometric relaxation and so on.
