Osteopathy is a system and science of healing that uses physical techniques to remove tensions and restrictions in the body to encourage structural and physiological harmony. The term 'Classical' was coined to express the traditional nature of this holistic approach to osteopathy. Some would say that a traditional approach is merely one that is outdated. This is certainly not the case here. Classical Osteopathy differs from most current osteopathic practice today. But what makes it different? It differs in technique and practice, concepts, philosophy, and the enormous scope of application. We follow in the pioneering tradition of the early osteopaths with the advantages of a century of research and clinical practice.
