Osteo means Structure

The word osteopathy came about because its founder (Andrew Taylor Still) wanted to convey that many health problems arise when the body isn’t functioning properly due to problems with the structure (the osteo bit of osteopathy).

For example, tension headaches can arise if the greater occipital nerve is compressed through tight muscles at the base of the skull; or, someone might develop pins and needles in their fingers if the nerves to the arm are irritated as they pass in between the scalene muscles at the front of the neck.

Osteopathy is all about assisting the body to function better using gentle, safe techniques. We often suggest patients do certain stretches that will assist with the healing process.
