What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy provides a holistic approach to health care. The founder of osteopathic medicine, Dr A.T. Still,
believed the human body should be appreciated as a complete entity beyond the ailment and symptoms
experienced. It was his
belief that the body had its own self regulating and self-healing ability that should be harnessed through treatment.
Osteopathic therapists utilize touch and manipulation of the body and its tissues, with the intention of aiding the biomechanics of the body towards efficiency. This method allows the body to restore optimal functioning and help relieve some, or all, aspects of a patient's
symptoms.
Throughout life, the body can experience stress in both the form of physical knots, as well as emotional strains. When these ailments are unresolved they can worsen over time and may alter and restrict the body’s normal functioning.
Osteopathic manual therapists are trained to feel both the subtle and larger physical motions in the body. They can identify areas where there is congestion or
restriction and using hands on treatment can help to restore motion. Once motion is improved, inflammation can drain, and this will positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory and
lymphatic system. It is within this state that A.T. Still believed the body has the best ability to recover from pain and illness, when all parts of the body are functioning together in an integrated manner.
Osteopaths are trained to treat a variety of conditions including:
- Spine pain and stiffness
- Post surgical pain, scars
- Sports injuries, sprains,
strains and fractures
- Headaches and TMJ pain
- Chronic pain, fibromyalgia
- Pelvic / perineal pain
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Digestive Disorders
- Infants and Children
Colic, ear infections,
Developmental, Feeding
- Prenatal and Postpartum
