Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. It is rooted in the philosophy that the body has an innate ability to heal itself when its structure and function are in balance.

​

​Osteopathic practitioners use a variety of gentle manual techniques to assess and address imbalances in the musculoskeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems. These techniques include:

​

• Soft Tissue Manipulation: Targeting muscles, fascia, and connective tissues to release tension, improve circulation, and restore flexibility.

• Joint Mobilization: Gently moving joints through their natural range of motion to improve alignment and reduce stiffness.

• Myofascial Release: Focusing on the fascia (connective tissue) to relieve restrictions and enhance movement.

• Craniosacral Therapy: A subtle approach that works with the rhythm of the craniosacral system to promote relaxation and nervous system balance.

• Visceral Manipulation: Addressing mobility and function of internal organs to support their optimal performance and integration with surrounding structures.

​

By combining these techniques, osteopathy aims to restore balance, alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes. This personalized, whole-body approach makes osteopathy effective for a wide range of concerns, including chronic pain, sports injuries, and general health maintenance.
