MANUAL OSTEOPATHIC PRACTITIONER
Gentle Hands-On Treatment
WHAT IS MANUAL OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy was founded by an Amercan medical doctor, Andrew Taylor Still, in 1874. He had the belief that the body had its own "pharmacy" in order to heal itself. Manual osteopaths recognize the body's innate ability to self-regulate and having the ability to heal itself when presented in proper alignment.
​
Manual osteopathic treatment works to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and circulation of body fluids. Manual osteopaths consider the body as an integrated functional unit. Changes in the structure of any body part can lead to abnormal function.
​
Rather than putting focus on the symptoms, manual osteopaths look at the underlying cause of dysfunction in order to restore structural and functional integrity.
ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT
Manual osteopathy is a system of assessment and treatment that focuses on restoring proper movement and function to the entire body. It is a gentle hands-on therapy that takes tension off muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, fascia and organs allowing proper communication of nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics.
