What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hand-on treatment modality first developed from the pursuit of a medicine rooted in a new knowledge of anatomy in the late 1800s. Since then, it has matured into a beautiful art and science, encompassing a wide range of techniques to suit each individual in a unique way.
Some aspects of treatment may feel like massage work, some may be reminiscent of gentle chiropractic adjustments, while other techniques work on a more subtle, deeper level like cranial osteopathic techniques. Treatment is highly individualized, making it difficult to describe. The main through line may be that good treatments should feel like the body is moved, stretched, softened, challenged or held, and given what it needs most in that moment.
Osteopaths help the body cope with the physical stressors of daily life and stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms so you can recover from your injury quicker. Beyond initial recovery, it is a work of optimizing the body’s capacity for adaptation, increased mobility, strength and overall health. This is why a lot of people chose to have regular osteopathic treatment as a practice of self care to maintain well being.
