Osteopathy - Boaz Gilboa

Osteopathy is a system of health care which recognizes that the self-healing, self-regulating ability of the body is dependent upon a number of factors, including favourable environmental conditions (internal and external), adequate nutrition and normal structural integrity.

The body has inherent physiological rhythms that must be maintained as the basis for vitality of the organs, musculo skeletal, neurological and circulatory systems.

It utilizes generally accepted methods of diagnosis, as well as certain specialized ones developed to facilitate accurate structural assessment.

Osteopathy focuses on treatment of the physical body, the joints, muscles and connective tissue, with "hands on" techniques such as deep tactile pressure, stretching and manipulation.

This has several applications including treating muscular contractions following periods of immobility, increasing the quality and range of motion in joints after muscular strain or joint strain, breaking down scar tissue caused by trauma.

This, in turn affects the functioning of the whole body via connections with the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic system.
