Our Philosophy

As practicing osteopaths we hold quite strongly to the axioms of osteopathy, two of which state that the body is a unit, another one states that structure governs function. It is thus when patients come to our clinic we do our best to address any structural anomalies that may be affecting the normal mechanical functioning of the body.

As with many other osteopaths, we also have a strong leaning towards lifestyle as it relates to health. Indeed, lifestyle constitutes a vital part of our practice. It was Dr Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy who said “Health holds dominion over the body by laws as immutable as the laws of gravity.” Transgression of these laws always leads to bad health.

We believe that optimal health is to a large degree dependant on what we do to our body and what we put into our body (physically and mentally), one word which encapsulates this is lifestyle. Obtaining good health is possible for virtually all, at Happy Health Clinics we believe this needn’t be a daunting task, hence our strap line “Making Health Simple“.
