Osteopathic treatment can be adapted to any body type, and can be particularly gentle and useful for the elderly.  Aging is a natural life process and greatly impacts on the musculoskeletal system, often reducing mobility and causing stiffness and pain.  Osteopathy can assist in reducing the pain and dysfunction associated with particular conditions (such as osteoarthritis) and the effects of general aging abd wear on the body.  It can help to improve overall quality of life.
