Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on how your skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves and circulation work together to improve your health & well-being. Because all of the parts of the body are connected, an osteopath treats the whole body. By treating all the affected areas, you will have less pain, recover faster, and get on with the important things in life.

Osteopathy was founded as a discipline by Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, in 1874, in Kansas, USA. Still was born in 1828, the son of 'circuit-riding' Methodist minister, physician, farmer and millwright. He learnt much while following his father on his rounds as a minister-physician, and as an apprentice, although he also undertook some formal training in Kansas City, and was issued an MD by the state of Missouri.

Osteopathic principles are one of the defining aspects of the profession. A.T. Still, the founder of osteopathy, famously declared "Osteopathy is a philosophy". He held that there was no specific set of techniques that would always help with a certain condition or disease.

Understanding basic principles of anatomy, physiology, and chemistry as they pertain to health, growth and development, would naturally lead to appropriate choices of technique and treatment.Osteopaths are trained to regard each person as an individual, and as a whole. Generally, we try to make the human body easier to understand by breaking it down into parts: the nervous system, respiratory system, circulatory system etc.
