Osteopathic manipulation

Osteopathic manipulation is when a special doctor called an osteopath, who knows a lot about your bones, muscles, and organs, gently helps your body move and feel better using their hands. Just like how a magician uses their hands to do tricks, an osteopath uses their hands to help fix the parts of your body that feel uncomfortable or don't work the way they should. They might put pressure on different parts of your body or make tiny movements to help your bones and muscles work better together. Think of it like a gentle massage for your whole body that helps you feel stronger and healthier.
