What is Manual Osteopathic Therapy?

Manual osteopathic therapy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure and function. It is a hands-on, gentle, non-invasive therapy that seeks to promote health and well-being through various manual techniques following the fundamental principles.

Manual osteopathic therapy is highly individualized, with treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. Practitioners take into account not only physical symptoms but also a patient's medical history, lifestyle, and emotional and mental well-being when developing a treatment approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a treatment like?

Assessment is at the core of a positive outcome, and reaching a pain free status as fast as possible. During your first visit, a thorough orthopedic assessment will be conducted. This assessment may include a digital / visual postural analysis, range of motion testing, advanced orthopedic testing, or a variety of other specialised techniques to be able to accurately form a treatment plan. At the conclusion of this assessment, you will have a better understanding of your body's current health status, and your therapist will be able to form a clinical impression as to what is causing your pain / discomfort.

Your therapist will then discuss a treatment plan with you. This treatment will involve various osteopathic manipulations and may include modalities such as laser therapy, exercises, cranial sacral treatment, and various other interventions.

After discussing the results of the assessment and the treatment plan, with your consent, your osteopath will begin your first treatment. Most often the treatment is conducted with you fully clothed and in various positions on the treatment table. For some conditions, you may be required to sit, stand or bend during the treatment.
