How long does it take to treat a particular condition?

Usually after one or two treatments we will get an idea of how long it will take to help your condition. For example, if 50% of the issues have cleared after the initial treatment then it might take two more treatments for the issue to resolve. If 10% of the symptoms were cleared then the treatment process might involve 10 sessions.

When did Osteopathy begin?

Osteopathy originated in the United States in the 1870’s by doctors who disagreed with the medication at the time and instead of perscribing, began to use only manual techniques to treat.
