Manual Osteopathic Therapy

Manual osteopathic therapy is a form of hands-on therapy that focuses on the investigation and treatment of body dysfunctions. The entire body is examined and any disruptions are treated, whether symptoms exist or not. It views the body as a whole interconnected system, as opposed to focusing only on individual symptoms or isolated parts of the body, believing that abnormal functioning in one area of the body can cause symptoms to present elsewhere in the body. Using gentle but intentional manual therapy, which could include physical manipulation, palpitation, and stretching, combined at times with massage therapy, your practitioner will treat with techniques that engage the particular dysfunctional tissue until the function is normalized.
