Manual osteopathy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing health problems through hands-on techniques. Practitioners, known as manual osteopaths, use various manual therapies such as gentle manipulation, stretching, joint mobilization, and massage to address musculoskeletal issues and promote the body’s natural healing process. 

This approach aims to restore balance and alignment within the body, enhance mobility, and relieve pain without the use of medications or invasive procedures. Manual osteopathy is particularly effective for conditions like back and neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, and joint stiffness, as it emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body’s systems.
