Osteopathy
“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”
— Dr. A.T. Still, Founder of Osteopathy
Osteopathy seeks to restore balance by removing obstacles which interfere with the body's innate potential. Osteopathic practitioners use their hands to mobilize joints, and manipulate visceral organs or subtle workings of the cranial-sacral mechanism.
Osteopathy regards the body functions as a whole and aims to bring the body into harmony. This client centered approach involves gentle palpation to ascertain the root of a person's dysfunction.
Osteopathic Practitioners can help if you are experiencing problems such as:
Neck and back pain and tension
Headaches
Sleep or energy issues
Sports injuries
Concussion
Injuries from car accidents
Repetitive strain injuries
Joint or muscle pain
Digestive, respiratory or menstrual problems
