Discover Holistic Healing with Osteopath

Osteopathy Is Effective Gentle and Safe

Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy that is gentle, safe and effective.  This happens by focusing on improving your body's overall functioning through osteopathic adjustment or the manipulation of muscles, joints, and bones.  Adjustments encourage your body's innate healing mechanisms to work better when obstacles are identified and removed or reduced.  This enables increased circulation, communication and mobility.  Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking well-being, osteopathy can provide a customized path to reach those goals.

A Little Background

In 1874, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still had a vision in America that led to the discovery of osteopathy. Today, osteopathic manual practitioners practice in many different nations across the globe. Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy approach to healing. Numerous body maladies and complaints can be addressed using osteopathy.  One of the key principles of osteopathy is that structure and function are related on all levels.  The body function improves when symmetry and movement capability increase in the structure.  Treatments are performed through gentle manual adjustments which may include many osteopathic techniques such as muscle energy, strain counterstrain, stretching, and post isometric relaxation and so on.
