Principles
As Osteopaths we see that the structure of the body and how it functions are inextricably linked, and that each person contains within themselves the resources necessary for health.
We maintain that the body functions as a whole. The body, mind, and spirit operate as a unified whole, continually moving towards health.
Osteopaths see ailments as involving some restriction in the free flow and motion of bones, tissues, organs, fluids, and vitality in the patient.
Osteopathy considers not only the physical, environmental, and nutritional causes of ailments, but the emotional and mental as well.
