Summary

Osteopathy views the body as an integrated, self-healing and self-regulating “system of systems” in an interconnected mechanical chain. Every one of the body’s systems work together as a dynamic unit of function. No single part of the body can work in isolation from the others. Pain and health issues often occur when “weaker links” are aggravated by mechanical strains occurring elsewhere in the chain. Osteopathic care aims to relieve the mechanical strains in the chain in order to promote the space for those weaker links to heal, encouraging your body to take care of your symptoms on its own.
