Equine Osteopathy |
||
Background:Osteopathy is based on a system of healing by the manipulation of bones (especially the spine) and muscles. The therapy was developed in America in the late 1800's by Andrew Taylor Still MD. He developed the therapy to avoid unnecessary surgery often followed by the complications of infection. His therapy not only avoided surgery but also enhanced the body’s own defence and repair systems, encouraging the body to heal naturally. Tissue that has a sufficient blood supply, nerve supply and lymphatic drainage will be healthy, without these essential elements, disease and poor health will ensue. The fundamental foundation of osteopathy is based on this principle.
