Osteopathy as a Stress Reliever & More
If you find yourself overly stressed and in need of relaxation, you might consider visiting an osteopath as a form of stress relief as many patients find the treatment methods used by osteopaths to be highly relaxing. Due to the holistic nature of osteopathy, your osteopath will probably advise you on how to improve your posture. You may even find poor posture to be the main source of your pain. This is especially common for people who visit an osteopath complaining of back or hip pain. Through the advice and manual manipulation, osteopathy is able to treat problems caused by bad posture.
Osteopathy can help you to manage your lifestyle in order to prevent further problems that you would otherwise develop because of poor posture. It can also help with back pain during pregnancy as well as recovery from injuries and surgery.
Osteopathic Principles Believe in the Body’s Ability to Heal Itself

In this way, OMT balances the autonomic nervous system, organs and glands to maintain health and defend against disease. Osteopathy is human engineering, with osteopathic manual practitioners who understand all the laws governing his “engine,” allowing him to master disease.
