Osteopathy

Osteopathy 6

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathic manual therapy is a gentle, non-invasive form of manual therapy. The goal of Osteopathic treatment is to restore health to an area by removing restrictions in all layers of tissue.

Our osteopathic approach will stabilize motility throughout your unique gastrointestinal system before diligently following any reactions or patterns into your musculoskeletal system. 

Osteopathic care has been found to be helpful for people of all ages with all types of health concerns, including: musculoskeletal issues, spinal health, traumatic injury, digestive irregularity, sleep problems, reproductive issues, respiratory health, migraines and chronic pain. 

A doctor’s referral is NOT required to directly access osteopathy services.
