What is Osteopathy?
The aim of Osteopathy is to find the root cause of problems in the body by searching for areas of restriction. Once these areas are found, we work to remove these restrictions using principles-based treatment, not memorized techniques. Each treatment is different and unique to your body that day. When these restrictions are eased with treatment, the body has the capability to heal itself and restore natural function, and symptoms diminish.
By treating the joints, muscles, and connective tissue, we work to improve alignment. This allows for free movement and less strain in the body, which results in reduced pain and relief from symptoms.
Treatment is conducted in a gentle and intelligent way to help your body heal itself. It is beneficial for people suffering from:
-
Joint and muscular pain
-
Neck, back pain
-
Shoulder, arm pain
-
SI joint pain, leg, knee, ankle problems
-
Headaches
-
Sciatica
-
Digestive issues
-
Injuries
*Receipts are available for those wishing to use extended health care coverage for Osteopathy.
"We look at the body in health as meaning perfection and harmony, not in one part, but in the whole."
Dr. Andrew Taylor Still
Founder of Osteopathy, 1874
