FAQs

Classical Osteopathy works to improve overall body structure by restoring proper motion mechanics, to the best of the bodies ability. Motion is required to move fluid in our body which supplies blood to areas for healing and regulating function as well as to reduce stagnation by clearing waste through the venous/lymphatic system. Common symptoms that present themselves when motion mechanics are disturbed, along with the changes in fluid dynamics, can include joint pain, neck and back pain, digestive issues, reproductive issues, headaches and migraines, sinus congestion and more.
Osteopathy offers a variety of care to support your healing journey. It can help prevent issues from progressively deteriorating your overall health by removing restrictions early on. It can help support recovery from a current or long term issue you are dealing with. The length of time you have been dealing with this issue can impact how many treatments are needed to help. Lastly, it can be palliative for disease in the later stages of the disease process to work towards getting better days. As Osteopathy works with the tissues to encourage the bodies self healing and self regulating mechanisms, treatments are geared towards sustainable change that the body can take on and develop meaningful, lasting change.

OMT uses a principles-based approach to treatment, not a technique-based approach, which means assessment and treatment will be unique to you and what your body needs. Treatment is gentle and works with the tissues of your body, offering both a relaxing experience for you and what is also necessary for your nervous system to begin to take on these changes effectively.
