Osteopathy: 1. focuses on the whole person--this is the essence of holistic medicine: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all interconnected, each influences the others, 2. addresses the interrelatedness of structure and function--all body systems, including the musculoskeletal system, work together and disturbances in one can affect functions of other systems, and 3. recognizes we each have an inherent ability to heal.

CHILDREN--hyperactivity, learning or developmental problems, scoliosis. PREGNANT WOMEN--helps mothers be more comfortable throughout pregnancy and helps make labor and delivery easier. ALL AGES--asthma, sinusitis, migraines, menstrual & other female problems, whiplash, injuries from falls or accidents, sprains and strains.
