What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy that assesses and treats the structures in the body to reduce pain, help with alignment and mobility, and decompress the nerves and blood vessels to all tissues. It uses techniques that mobilize your joints and release restrictions in your fascia, muscles and ligaments. The focus is on determining and removing the root cause of the problem to elevate the overall health of the entire body of each individual.

  • Osteopathic Practitioners use many gentle techniques and are a safe choice for all ages and stages – from newborns to the elderly.

  • Osteopathy provides benefits for acute and chronic conditions as well as general aches and pains

Who can benefit from osteopathic treatment?

“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”

— A.T. Still

What conditions can osteopathy treat?

The goal of osteopathic treatment is to restore proper body mechanics in order to find health rather than focus on disease. When all structures are functioning properly, health can be restored in the body. Following this principle, osteopathy can bring great benefit to individuals with chronic pain, muscular tension, headaches, digestive issues, circulatory issues, and so much more!
