osteopathic manual therapy

Osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy that focuses on re-aligning the body and restoring movement. Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help restore health to all systems of the body, not just musculoskeletal aches and pains. By clearing the pathways for proper supply and drainage, we are able to restore health to the affected viscera that may have been compromised.

Osteopathy treats bones, joints, and muscles to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal. When the anatomy is unrestricted and each joint is moving properly, there is no excessive strain or load placed on one area of the body. This allows the nerves, arteries, veins, and lymphatic systems to flow freely.
