What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy was founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, an American doctor, in the late 1800’s. It is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy, individualized for each patient and uses an extensive understanding of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and osteopathic philosophy. The osteopathic manual practitioner uses a holistic approach to reduce and resolve tension, strains, stress and dysfunction in all areas of the body. The treatments help restore balance within and between all the systems of the body: musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurological, cranial and visceral (internal organs of the body).

What osteopathy practitioners do and how is it different from other therapists?
Manual osteopathy practitioners use techniques to influence joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organ’s function, so osteopaths try to have an all-encompassing “big picture” approach to diagnosis and management. Osteopathy therapists focus on the health of the entire body, rather than just the injured or affected part. They look at how your skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulatory system, connective tissue and internal organs function as a whole body unit. They also use manual techniques, mobilization and manipulation of the joint, as well as soft tissue release and exercises. Cranio-sacral and visceral techniques are also used in osteopathy.(Internal organ treatment such as diaphragm, liver, kidney, etc.)
