Osteopathy Therapy

Osteopathy is a non-invasive manual therapy practice with a health-orientated, patient-centered, and holistic view of the human being. It focuses on physical manipulation of joints, muscles and spine, improving circulatory, nervous and lymphatic systems. Many symptoms like pain and headaches are relieved with osteopathy through improved blood and lymph flow to the area and removing blockages. In addition to the patient’s medical history and physical examination, osteopathic practitioners perform a structural examination that considers the presence of dysfunctions in relation to the patient’s complaint, as well as other areas that have musculoskeletal interconnection to balance all the body systems.

Osteopathy can help with:

  • Relax contracted muscles
  • Improve blood and lymphatic circulation
  • Stimulate the stretch reflex in muscles
  • Decrease stress, anxiety and depression
  • Support gut motility and reduce abdominal pain
  • Greater gland and intestinal activity 
  • Relieve chronic pain
  • Decrease stress on the joints

Our Osteopathic practitioner uses a combination of gentle techniques like:

A manual intervention used to promote physical and mental health while relaxing the musculoskeletal system. The therapy incorporates various techniques in the form of lymphatic drainage massage, using tools, essential oils and body wraps. Various manual therapies can target small muscles and connective tissues that reduce pain and increase mobility.

Poor circulation and lymphatic drainage, stress and inflammation are often related to the underlying causes of many health condition. Massage therapy incorporates all these aspects and improves your emotional wellness as well.

  • Chronic pain
  • Sleep disorders
  • Reduced mobility and muscle stiffness

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body towards the lymph nodes in the lymphatic system to remove waste and toxins from the body. The build-up of lymph fluid that contains toxins contributes to chronic swelling and fatigue. Lymphatic massage can therefore reduce muscle swelling, increases blood flow and support detoxification.

Swedish massage Incorporates kneading, long gliding strokes and rhythmic tapping to target muscle layers and connective tissue, increasing mobility and relieving muscle knots. Swedish massage can be combined with joint movements to reduce stress and tension in the musculoskeletal system.

Deep tissue massage involves strong pressure to stimulate deepest muscle layers and target tendons and fascia that support your musculoskeletal system. Deep tissue massage helps in healing muscle knots and chronic muscle pain, as well as reducing scar tissue and tension following an injury.

Myofascial Release: This manual therapy uses sustained pressured strokes focusing on myofascial tissues that function as tough membranes wrapping and supporting your muscles. The massage stretches and lengths the stiff myofascial areas that assist with flexibility and movement, as well as lymphatic drainage. Although these myofascial areas may not be painful, it restricts the movement of the surrounding muscles.

 

Warm Stone Massage uses warm river stones on trigger points of the body that increase circulation and relaxation. The heat and pressure of the stones provide relief from muscle tension, pain and stiffness. 

Aromatherapy massage incorporates fragrant essential oils from herbs and plants. Absorbing these oils through the skin and inhaling the fragrances soothe and stimulate the limbic system of the brain that promotes emotional well-being. This treatment involves manual therapy, providing both physical and mental relaxation.

Body Wraps begin with a dry brush exfoliation to stimulate the lymphatic drainage with the use of essential oils and wraps. This treatment helps with detoxification along with a massage stimulating the drainage of toxins from the body, reducing stress and tension in body, while providing an energizing effect.

Physical therapists are movement experts who help patients improve the quality of their lives through performing non-invasive, hands-on interventions, prescribing physical activity and exercise, and educating patients on risk factors.
