What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy?
Manual Osteopathy is physical therapy that is drugless, holistic philosophy of assessment and treatment that follows the principles set by Dr. A.T. Still.
Using gentle and rythmic motions, the treatment's goal is to restore the body’s natural ability to self-heal and self-regulate. It is hollistic in the sense that your body is treated as a dynamic unit of function and not a collection of independent, self-sufficient parts. Treatment is based on ensuring you and your body as a whole, are functioning properly
By removing restrictions and imbalances in the body’s structure, we affect and restore the proper function. The focus is on finding the health as opposed to the disease, by balancing mechanical load, encouraging proper circulation and nerve communication to the tissues to facilitate the healing process.
