Traditional Osteopathy
Safe & Gentle Treatment To Help Relieve Pain
Traditional Osteopathy aims to release and realign gently and safely joints maintained in pain, compression and restriction by spasm or chronic protective muscle tension. The malposition of the joints, due to injuries or poor posture feeds the protective muscular tension and vice versa. The Osteopath works on the all musculoskeletal system, joints and muscles and connective tissues (fascia), to help the body to come back to a state of balance. So the healing occurs naturally and health returns.
Osteopathy helps greatly to improve posture and the mechanic of the musculoskeletal system. It has the subsequent effect of diminishing pain, congestion and inflammation and improving health and well-being.
More Information
Osteopathic Medicine is a traditional “hands-on” diagnostic and therapeutic science. Pioneered in the late 1800s by a medical doctor named Andrew Taylor Still, Osteopathic Medicine is dedicated to the treatment and healing of the entire patient. It is based on three main principles:
- The body is a whole dynamic unit of function and anything done to one part can affect the other parts.
- The body has the ability to heal itself, with an inherent therapeutic potency (power) and constant drive toward health.
- There is an interrelationship and interdependence between structure and function in the human body, and knowledge of the details of that structure allows the Osteopathic physician to effect changes that no pill can achieve.
The role of the Osteopathic physician is to find this health and unleash the body’s natural healing potential by removing any obstruction to its normal physiologic processes.
