Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment which
focuses on the muscular-skeletal systeam (the bones, joints,
muscles, ligaments and connective tissues) and the way in
which it interacts with the body as a whole.
An osteopath diagnoses and treats dysfunction, which occurs
due to injury, stress or disease, to enable the body to restore
itself to normal function.
Treating the patient as an individual is essential for an
osteopath.
Significant types of illnesses due to work are disorders
of the muscles, tendons and joints (particularly in the back,
hands and arms). Symptoms vary from mild aches and pains to
severe pain and disability.
