What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic and gentle manual therapy which progressively unloads restriction and compensation in the body. This improves coordination between the structure and function of the body, allowing the body to self-heal and self-regulate.
The Treatment Process:
-
Global: The treatment process starts by addressing broader areas of tension and patterns of restriction in the body. This helps reduce overall strain and improves blood flow, allowing the body to begin healing itself.
-
Local: Once the larger areas of tension are addressed, treatment focuses on specific, smaller areas that may be causing issues. This targeted approach to first the global and then the local areas of the body, helps improve movement and further supports the body’s natural healing process. -
Focal: As treatment continues, we zero in on even smaller areas that might still be restricted. Following these principles of osteopathy ensures a thorough treatment, addressing tension in all tissue layers of the body. -
Continuing Care: Your body a dynamic unit of function, meaning it is always changing and adapting. Depending on your needs and any new injuries, you may benefit from ongoing treatments to maintain the improvements achieved with osteopathy.
Who Can Benefit from Osteopathic Treatment?
Osteopathic treatment targets structural restrictions and asymmetries in the body, benefiting anyone experiencing pain, discomfort, decreased mobility, or other health concerns approved for manual therapy by a doctor.
The holistic approach of osteopathic treatment promotes proper fluid movement throughout the body, ensuring effective delivery of nutrients via the bloodstream to muscles, joints, organs, and all tissues. By enhancing blood circulation, osteopathy supports the body’s natural self-healing processes, optimizing overall structural function.
