People often ask the question, “what is osteopathy and what does an osteopath do?” Most people assume osteopathy is all about ‘bone cracking’ and don’t realise it’s an all-over holistic approach. It’s a manual therapy that uses a combination of hands-on techniques to treat physical musculoskeletal disorders and restore optimal health and wellbeing.
Osteopathy is also known as osteopathic medicine. It was founded by Dr Andrew Taylor Still, an American physician in the 19th century. It’s one of ten regulated healthcare professions in Australia and Osteopaths must be registered with the Osteopathy Board of Australia.
The philosophy behind the osteopathic approach is a holistic one. It stresses the importance of the musculoskeletal system in a person’s health and well-being. Osteopathic treatment aims to support the body’s self-healing capacity.
