What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathic Manual therapy is the practical implementation of the principles of Osteopathy. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners are functional anatomists who use manual therapy to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulse and circulation by removing motion restriction where needed. Your first visit will include a dynamic assessment of the way your body moves, followed by a treatment plan designed specifically for you. Treatment will include joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation to remove any obstacles that interfere with the proper nutrition and drainage of your body’s tissues. Treatment will always consider motion restriction and asymmetries in the body, with the goal of facilitating normal movement. Osteopathy is a unique approach to manual therapy that aims to treat the cause of the symptom rather than simply reducing it temporarily.
