“When all parts of the human body are in line, we have perfect health.
When they are not, the effect is disease.
When the parts are readjusted, disease gives place to health.”
Andrew Still (1828-1917) — the founder of Osteopathy
“There is only one Osteopathy
and that only way is through the process of Integration.”
John Wernham (1907-2007)

Welcome to Christchurch Osteopathy
The principal of Osteopathy 'structure governs function' could be summarised by something like: ‘Get the structure right and everything else will follow'.
Osteopathy’s other principles involve seeing the body as an integral unit (and the process of integration, as John Wernham points out) where each part affects and is affected by every other part; together with seeing each individual as a unity of body, mind and spirit.
The body is also viewed as a self-healing, self-repairing mechanism, capable of making its own remedies against disease and other toxic conditions. This should be easily possible when a normal structural relationship exists within the body, and there are favourable environmental conditions, and adequate rest and nutrition.
