What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy?

Osteopathic Manual Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to health care that focuses on how the whole body works together. It’s based on the knowledge that the body has an amazing ability to heal and take care of itself—if everything is moving and working the way it should.

Your body is made up of many layers that are all connected. When everything is in the right place and moving freely—muscles, joints, bones, nerves, organs and fluids—your body can function at its best. But if something gets stuck or out of balance, it can cause discomfort, dysfunction and keep your body from healing properly.

That’s what Osteopathic Manual Therapists are trained for. We are trained in how the body moves and functions and we use our hands to gently find and release areas of tension or restriction.

This helps restore healthy movement, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Each session begins with a full-body assessment to see how your body is moving and where it may be holding tension and restrictions. From there, I will create a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to your goals and needs. Treatment may include gentle joint realignments, advanced fascial release, dynamic brain healing (TM) and other soft tissue work, all aimed at helping your body move better and feel better.

Rather than just focusing on the symptoms, osteopathic care looks for and treats the underlying cause—helping you get long-lasting relief and improved overall function.

“To find health should be the object… Anyone can find disease.”
