What Are The Principles Of Osteopathic Medicine?
• The body is a unit. • Structure and function are inter-related. • The body possesses natural self-regulatory mechanisms. • The body has the inherent capacity to repair dysfunction. • When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental stresses overcome the body’s capacity for self−maintenance, dysfunction may occur. • The movement of bodily fluids is essential to the maintenance of health. • The nerves play a crucial part in controlling the fluids of the body. The elegance of Osteopathic Manual Therapy is that it enhances your body’s natural ability to be programmed to function in a healthy, normal way.
