The basic principle of Osteopathy say that:

The human body has natural mechanisms of self-healing and self-regulation (maintaining homeostasis)

Proper fluid circulation is a prerequisite for maintaining health

By treating man as an inseparable whole, with the use of manual actions, one can restore the normal physiological conditions of tissue movement to activate natural self-healing processes.
