What is Osteopathy?
Manual Osteopathy is a form of physical therapy where gentle manipulation is applied to facilitate the body’s ability to self heal and self regulate. Following principles set out by Dr. A.T. Still, the body is looked at holistically where individualized treatments are performed with an understanding that the body is a dynamic unit of function working as a whole. Focusing on balancing lines of tension and improving alignment and mobility, the goal is to restore health to all layers of tissues such as the fascia, muscle and deep ligamentous articular joints while encouraging proper fluid circulation and nerve connection. Eliminating any restrictions and obstructions present that may cause ‘dis’-ease while investigating the ‘why’ there is a dysfunction and discover the ROOT cause of the problem.
