Veterinary osteopathy works on the same principles and theory as human osteopathy, but with specific manipulative procedures for animals. The treatment involves various techniques that work to increase mobility and improve muscle tone and circulation – this can be beneficial for a wide variety of conditions and problems such as lameness, stiffness and various types of injury. Osteopathy is holistic and considers the whole being in order to find the cause of the problem. Therefore, osteopaths often apply a varied treatment plan and consider diet, exercise and other factors as part of the treatment. Training courses vary from short courses to more in-depth post-graduate diploma courses.
