What is Osteopathy?
Osteopaths share conventional medicine's view that the human body is like a machine and that any disease is due to a breakdown of part of the machine.
However, they also believe that many health problems can be caused by poor posture and misalignment of muscles and joints. They suggest that if the structure of the body is improved, the function of the body will improve, problems will be alleviated and good health will be restored.
"Active rehabilitation" may also be used which focuses on fitness and endurance to help symptoms.
