Osteopathy is a form of alternative medicine that emphasizes the importance of the muscle and skeletal system in overall health. Practitioners, known as osteopaths, use hands-on techniques such as stretching, adjusting, and massage to treat various health issues. They believe that the body's structure and function are closely related, and aim to improve health by restoring balance and proper positioning of the muscle and skeletal system. Osteopathy is used to ease pain, improve movement, and encourage overall well-being. While it is popular in some regions, its effectiveness is debated in standard medicine due to the different levels of scientific evidence supporting its practices.
