What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathic Manual Therapy is a gentle alignment based practice aimed to improve function of all systems of the body. It does this by relieving tension through all tissues, including the fascia, muscles, and joints.
Osteopathic philosophy believes the human body is a functional unit, meaning all parts and systems work together and can influence one another. When the body is out of alignment, dis-ease is the result. We work to relieve the misalignment and deal with the source of the problem to alleviate symptoms.
The osteopathic approach focuses on why you're feeling pain, or discomfort and corrects the problem, releasing compensational patterns then allows the body to do the rest. Like when you have a minor cut, the body goes to work to heal itself.
Whether it's an acute tweak, chronic pain, numbness, or preventative care, Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help.
