Osteopathy
The popularity of manual therapy is increasing worldwide. In Korea, the markets for physical therapy and chiropractic therapy are expanding, and RMT (Registered Massage Therapy) is also gaining popularity in Vancouver. Manual therapy provides non-invasive yet psychologically comforting treatment, which is highly effective for musculoskeletal recovery. There are various types of manual therapy, including chiropractic, massage, and physical therapy.
Among them, Osteopathy is the most well-known discipline with a long history and systematic treatment approach. Along with chiropractic, osteopathy originated in the United States and serves as a major branch of manual therapy. While chiropractic focuses on correcting spinal joint misalignments, osteopathy emphasizes blood circulation through the artery of rule, addressing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, visceral organs, and connective tissues.
