Osteopathic medicine and whole person

Osteopathic focus is on treating the whole person. Whilst osteopaths examine and treat many musculoskeletal conditions, they also consider, and may be of assistance with psychological, nutritional, exercise, and lifestyle issues.

Accumulation of stress in the body

When we experience physical or emotional stresses our body tissues tend to tighten up. The body may have been able to adapt to these effects at the time, but a lasting strain often remains. Any tensions which remain held in the body can restrict its free movement. Gradually the body may find it more and more difficult to cope with accumulated stresses and symptoms may develop.

Osteopaths focus on the whole person from structural problems to lifestyle issues...
