What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a gentle manual therapy that, through soft tissue and joint mobilization, aims to restore the body back to a whole system of health. Treatment is based on principles that emphasize the importance of treating the body as a complete and dynamic unit. No part goes unchecked as all parts may play a role in your pain. By restoring the motion capacity and structural framework of the body, this allows the underlying nerves and fluid channels (arterial blood, veins, lymph) to adequately nourish the tissues and promote health within the body. Since Osteopathic Treatment does not follow protocols for specific conditions, we can improve the quality of living for a number of people rather than chasing symptoms.
Osteopathic Treatment can be beneficial for:
- Neck // Back // Limb Pain
- Chronic Pain
- Numbness // tingling into arms // legs
- Headaches // Migraines
- Digestion concerns
- Menstrual Pains
- Sports rehabilitation
- And more!
Why choose Osteopathy?
Osteopathic treatment works uniquely with each patient. We understand that no two patients are the same. Treatment is based on how the patient presents that day and aims to improve soft tissue and joint motion. This frees up the healing properties of the body (blood, nerves, etc.) to help the body move the patient towards health. Osteopathy works with the body, never being forceful.
Why see an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner?
Treatment is gentle and non-invasive in nature. It appeals to the nervous system for this reason. This provides a calming environment for the body, one in which positive change toward health can occur. As no structures of the body go unchecked, we aim to build a thorough picture of what is causing your pain and strive to move you towards a healthy life.
