Manual Osteopathy utilizes a hands-on approach to assessment and treatment that includes structural (bone and joint), myofascial (muscle and fascia), visceral (organ), and cranial-sacral approaches to care. Practitioners seek to address the cause of the pain or dysfunction, not just the area in which it presents, and are reliant on a detailed knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics.
Traditional osteopathic philosophy demands that the body be addressed as an integrated unit, and as such the goal of treatment is to restore the natural, healthy integrated state of structures within, while respecting all components of the patient.
Whether seeking relief from pain, restoring mobility, or optimizing overall health, individuals can benefit from the individualized care provided by manual osteopathic practitioners.
