Osteopaths, or manual osteopaths understand that the body has an innate ability to self-regulate and self-heal. Through manual therapies, the goal is to release and unwind tension and discomfort that will allow this natural process of healing to occur. A non-invasive practice, it works to align all components of the body including the nervous, lymphatic, and circulatory systems to maximize health.
The underlying philosophy of osteopathy consists of several principles, one of which is that the body is composed of interrelated systems, none of which function independently. Emphasis is placed on the concept that the body is continually working to manage the effects of internal and external environments humans are exposed to. The belief is held that despite pain or illness being felt in a specific part of the body, if studied carefully, the effects can be felt (and thus treated) to some degree throughout the entire body.
Manual osteopaths assess the musculoskeletal structure of the body in great detail with the understanding that our muscles, ligaments, bones, and connective tissue can be treated to facilitate the recalibration of our internal systems.
Osteopathy can benefit those who are seeking a true ‘whole-body’ approach to wellness. The goal of the practitioner is to assist in realigning the body’s varied systems in order to promote self-healing and allow the body to once again self-regulate:
