ARE YOU IN PAIN ??
Osteopathy is a system of complementary medicine involving the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation, manual readjustments and myofascial release of bones of the skeleton and musculature. Osteopathic treatment allows the body to function as a unit.
Your body language can determine the health of your joints and muscles, as well as your mental health.
