Osteopathy works on the body as a whole, instead of separating the body parts or different systems that the body organizes and manages like a conductor making his magic happen with all of the different instruments. The body and the mind work together at all times.
An Osteopathic Manual Therapist will read your body and look into the past for the reason of your symptoms, looking for the root cause in order to help you. This is a very similar method to how a Psychologist will work: they will also sometimes find a link between the psyche and the physical body; and vice versa: an Osteopath sometimes finds an emotional trigger to a physical pain.
These two practices, seemingly so distinct from each other, are actually very similar, working in their own field with their own tools in a complementary way to help the patient back to health.
