What is manual osteopathy?
Manual osteopathy is a hands-on approach to complementary and alternative medicine, focusing on musculoskeletal and overall health. Key principles include a thorough assessment of medical history, lifestyle, and physical examinations. Emphasizing a holistic approach, manual osteopaths believe in the interconnectedness of the body's systems.
In addition to musculoskeletal manipulations, manual osteopathy incorporates various specialized techniques:
Visceral Manipulations: Involves manual movement of organs, aiding digestion, absorption, addressing emotional factors, alleviating abdominal discomfort, and addressing limb issues.
Craniosacral Alignment: Incorporates manual osteopathic craniosacral alignment, reorganizing brain membranes. This technique can be beneficial for conditions such as post-concussion syndrome, ADHD, learning delays, traumas, and deep emotionally ingrained imbalances.
Fascial Manipulations: Targets the fascia to address aches, pains, emotional "holds," and trauma, promoting a sense of release and relief.
Lymphatic Realignment: Aids in realigning the lymphatic system, benefiting glandular issues, edema, and persistent or recurrent illnesses.
Patient-centered care involves collaboration with patients, integrating education on posture, exercise, and lifestyle modifications for enhanced effectiveness and long-term well-being. Manual osteopathy offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to address a wide range of health conditions.
