Osteopathy therapy works on the whole body-the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and tissues, to reduce discomfort, improving joint movements and restoring the person to full health.  Andrew Taylor, an American doctor devised it in 1874. He claimed that muscle tensions and misaligned bones unnecessarily strain the whole body which are caused by factors such as physical injury, habitual poor posture or by destructive emotions such as anxiety and fear. He felt that adjusting the body framework relieves the strain enabling all the systems to run smoothly so that the body would actually heal itself.

The spine is considered to be the most important bony structure since it protects the spinal cord, linking the central nervous system with the brain, and the nervous system penetrates every body area, controlling voluntary and involuntary movement and registering every sensation from smell to pain.

Problems affecting the structural body upset the balance of the body generally. Osteopathy focuses on easing muscular tension and relaxing the muscles, which not only alleviate pain and stillness, but also reduces the imbalance of the body. The ribs and diaphragm are surrounded by muscles and treatment in this area improves existing respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic bronchitis.
