What Is Osteopathy? A Whole-Body Approach to Pain & Movement
Osteopathy is a hands-on, holistic therapy that focuses on restoring balance within the body by improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing overall function. At The Good Joint, our experienced osteopath uses a combination of manual therapy, cupping therapy, dry needling, and soft tissue techniques to help you move freely and feel your best.
