Diagnosis and manual treatment of various musculoskeletal issues. Osteopathy’s holistic approach seeks to strengthen the immune system. Numerous manual therapy techniques aim to enhance patients' quality of life. Depending on the issue, goals may include increased mobility, tension relief, reducing contractures, improving lymphatic and venous drainage, utilizing techniques like manipulation, fascial unwinding, and mobilization.

3 channels of osteopathic treatment:
Parietal: Addresses musculoskeletal issues, treating pain and mobility restrictions related to joint, bone, ligament, muscle, or tendon function.

Cranial:

Visceral: Addresses internal organ disorders, treating issues within the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and urogenital systems, as well as conditions like tension headaches, migraines, hormonal imbalances, tinnitus, and emotional disturbances.
