What is Manual Osteopathic Therapy?

Manual Osteopathic Therapy uses hands-on skills for the investigation and treatment of body dysfunctions. The whole body is examined and mechanical disruptions are treated whether symptoms exist or not. Simply put, let’s say you have right shoulder pain – expect the Manual Osteopathic Therapist to examine the joint and soft tissue around the shoulder and also:

Assess the pelvis, because if imbalanced will drop your shoulder and create a strain;
Check the spinal column, because inflamed nerves can send pain to the shoulder;
Palpate the liver and gall bladder, because dysfunction in those organs radiates pain to the right shoulder;
Assess the fluid dynamics in and out of the shoulder, because congestion is linked with pain.

Imbalances found are gently treated with techniques that engage the dysfunctional tissue until the function is normalized. Joints are mobilized by muscle-resisted techniques, soft tissue is restored to healthier states. Fluids are released from congested areas and gently flushed in the direction of drainage. Changes are often felt immediately or shortly after the treatment.
