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.
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. An osteopathic treatment can help with musculoskeletal complaints (back, hip, shoulder, leg, and jaw), sciatica pain, sleep cycles, migraines, headaches, back pain, constipation, stress incontinence, posture from carrying baby or breastfeeding, rebalancing the pelvis, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and asthma.
