	What Is Osteopathy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		"Osteopathic medicine is a philosophy of health care and a distinctive art, supported by expanding scientific knowledge; its philosophy embraces the concept of the unity of the living organism's structure (anatomy) and function (physiology).
		Osteopaths treat a wide range of conditions that occur in patients as diverse as the smallest neo-nate to elderly people.
		While osteopaths are perhaps best known to the general public as specialists in treating disorders of musculoskeletal system, osteopathy is actually a complete (holistic) primary healthcare discipline not just for bad backs and stiff necks.

		Osteopaths use a wide variety of approaches to treatment and can bring relief or improvement to many conditions affecting, for example, children, the elderly, sportsmen and women, or to problems which arise during or after pregnancy.
		There are several techniques that the osteopath may use to treat the patient's condition, such as spine cracking, soft tissue technique which is similar to massage, osteopathic manipulative therapy which is used to restore movement in the musculo-skeletal system, or movement of the joints to restore muscle alignment.
