What is Manual Osteopathy?

Manual Osteopathy is best described as a modality that falls between a massage therapist and chiropractor, with its own modalities to treat a wide array of dysfunctions within the body.

Manual Osteopathy aims to heal the body by finding the root of the issue, rather than treat symptoms. Dysfunction in the body can start as early as coming through the birth canal during childbirth. Osteopathy was developed by Dr. Andrew Still as a way of looking and treating the body in a holistic way by observing the musculoskeletal frame, fascia, cranial bones and internal organs.

The major disciplines that fall under Osteopathy

Osteoarticulation crop

Osteoarticulation

Manipulating the skeleton of the body into proper alignment, very gently. Manual Osteopaths are not trained to treat with high velocity thrusts the way Chiropractors are.

myofascial

Myofascial Remodeling

Fascia covers our body head to toe, wrapped up in organs and muscles enabling proper structure and mobility. Fascia health is so important for bodily movement and organ function. Fascia is embedded with special receptors to respond to stimuli around us to communicate efficiently to the central nervous system (brain & spinal cord)
cranial

Craniosacral therapy

Alternative gentle touch therapy to palpate and treat the cranial bones of the skull, increase the flow of cerebral spinal fluid through the vertebral canal to the sacrum (base of the spine) .It is based on fundamental misconceptions about the physiology of the human skull and is promoted as a cure-all for a variety of health conditions. Craniosacral therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous to “turn off” stress in our lives.

About Me

I have spent the last 12 years treating my clients through Deep Tissue Massage Therapy. I started noticing that while my clients felt amazing after their treatments, their reoccurring aches and pains never seemed to get any better. Their quality of life was suffering and I felt like there had to be more I could do to help them, more than a Band-Aid approach to cover up the root of the problem.

This is when I found Manual Osteopathy, a therapy that addresses the root cause of not only pain but other common symptoms like poor sleep, poor digestion and hormonal imbalances. Massage Therapy PLUS Manual Osteopathy is the most efficient and natural way to heal the body. I know that with this combination of therapies, I can help my clients truly heal – a passion that drives me every day.

When I’m not working, I like to work out, spend time with my son and drool over Mustangs.

You can contact me here for your free alignment/assessment. Looking forward to meeting you!
