Osteopathy in NE Calgary
Osteopathy (Manual Osteopathic Therapy) is a form of therapeutic treatment that focuses on aligning the structure and form of the body to optimize function and support the healing process.
Both the metabolism and fluid dynamics of the body can be impeded by obstructions in the body from improper structure. When this happens, the communication from the nervous system to various tissues of the body can become obstructed. This improper communication can cause a wide variety of complaints that range from pain, to poor energy, to organ specific complaints such as poor digestion.
