**Due to high volume of patients, we recommend booking a follow up appointment within 2 weeks of your first appointment.** Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy that considers all of the different systems of the
body to be interconnected, therefore working together as a functional unit. Osteopathy
looks for the cause of the problem, rather than focusing on only the symptoms.
Once the cause has been found, the osteopathic practitioner treats the dysfunction and ensures
that the rest of the body and its different systems are integrating the changes.
