Osteopathy has been around since the late 1800s when its founder, Andrew Taylor Still began exploring new ways of understanding the human body and how it functions. From these observations, he developed a set of guiding ideas now known as the four principles of osteopathy. Modern Osteopathy practice grounded in current research, contemporary pain science, and evidence-informed clinical reasoning, however these 4 principles still provide a useful framework.

At its core, Osteopathy is a holistic practice. It recognises that the body functions as one interconnected unit where physical, mental, and emotional health are all intertwined. When something isn’t right in one area, it often creates a ripple effect throughout the whole system.
