Osteopathic Therapy is a holistic approach to treating one or more problems. Based on anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and understanding how pathologies and injury affect the human body, these treatments address the patient as a whole unit.

 

Using specific manual therapy (hands-on) techniques, treatments may focus on different areas such as the musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles and joints), circulatory and lymphatic systems, the cranium (head, face and jaw) and the visceral system (internal organs). 

 

These systems are evaluated for restrictions in mobility or vitality and treated according to a specific methodology called the traditional osteopathic manual practice. As restrictions in the body are treated, normal function returns to the area and symptoms resolve to allow for a fast and safe return to sport, work or active living.
