Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to health founded 150 years ago by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. It teaches us that the body is a self-healing unit, with a close relationship between structure and function. In order to restore function, we first need to restore structure. Osteopathic techniques work with the body’s own natural healing ability, rather than against it. Research shows that osteopathy is one of the most effective options for chronic back pain. As a result, it can help you regain your full range of motion, so you can enjoy a pain-free life.

Every day, your body encounters hundreds of physical stressors, and it naturally tries to adapt. Over time, however, this process can cause the body to lose its natural alignment. An osteopath uses their knowledge of human anatomy and biomechanics to help restore that alignment. Once it is restored, the body’s own healing process can begin. Osteopathy holds that a bodily component is always involved in disease, whether as a contributing factor or a symptom. Because of this, treatment focuses on adjusting that component to help the body return to a healthy state.

Osteopathy offers techniques for nearly every part of the body, from the jaw to the fingers and toes. Many patients turn to osteopathy for a pain-free life, while others use wellness osteopathy to boost their stamina and vitality. Athletes can also benefit, since osteopathy can improve performance and help prevent injuries. For seniors, osteopathy can increase range of motion, resolve chronic pain, and strengthen muscles that help prevent serious fractures.

Remember: you already have the solution within you. Osteopathy simply helps you reveal it.
