Osteopathy improves mobility of affected joints while relaxing the muscles around those joints. Treatment might include soft tissue (muscle & ligament) techniques, rhythmic passive joint mobilization, corrective manipulation or adjustments and gentle pressure point release techniques.
Besides improving the structural integrity of the body, other beneficial effects can often be felt such as improved lung function, bowel motion, better sleep etc. This is due to the proximity and function of the nervous / venous system in relation to the spine and organs of the body.
