osteopathic philosophy

Osteopathic philosophy is rooted in the belief that the body is a connected, self-healing system where structure and function are interrelated. Osteopathic practitioners focus on the body's ability to maintain health by addressing the musculoskeletal system, promoting natural healing processes. They emphasize holistic care, considering physical, emotional, and environmental factors that affect health. Treatment often involves hands-on techniques to improve movement, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being, aiming to restore balance and support the body's inherent capacity to heal itself.
