Osteopathy focuses on the body's bones, joints, muscles, nerves and internal organs and how they interact with one another. An osteopathic diagnosis is made by taking a comprehensive history of the complaint and other relevant details, observation of the body's movement, muscle tone and posture. The osteopath uses their highly developed sense of touch (palpation) to assess the affected areas. Some special medical tests may also be performed.
Osteopathic treatment is holistic which means treating the body as a whole. Osteopaths try to understand what led to the patient's problem and therefore prevent it from recurring in the future. For example, a patient presenting with knee pain will also have their ankle, foot, hip and lumbar spine assessed as any of these areas could lead to pain in the knee.
