Osteopathy was created in 1873 by Dr Andrew T. Still, an American surgeon who identified the musculoskeletal system as a key component of general health. Now Osteopathy has evolved into a holistic healthcare practice which aims to improve overall health and wellbeing by treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. The main principle is that our wellbeing depends on our bones, muscles, ligaments and connentive tissue functioning smoothly together.
Osteopathy Clinic in Hong Kong
An Osteopath is a licensed and registered clinician whose treatment can be used for preventative, curative or long term management. Osteopaths use their medical knowledge to diagnose an illness or evaluate an injury before establishing a treatment plan.
Osteopaths use many different treatment approaches but at Posture Plus the treatment is very “hands-on” and aims to treat the different systems of the body in order to approach pathology from all aspects. The holistic approach of Osteopathy emphasizes that an illness or an injury to one part of the body almost always affects another. This in turn can predispose a client to injury or contribute to chronic symptoms. Our experienced osteopaths can work on the neurological system through neural techniques, lymphatic drainage through soft tissue techniques as well as work on the visceral or respiratory systems.
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) focuses on the musculoskeletal system. The aim is to restore, maintain and/or improve structural integrity through joint manipulations, connective tissue treatment, myofascial releases or mobilisation techniques, both active or passive. In the case of postural problems for example, the treatment will focus on spinal restrictions, breathing mechanics or digestion, thereby enabling the body to start functioning properly again. This in turn will enable the structures of the body to realign themselves and guide the client back to improved overall health and wellbeing.
