What is Manual Osteopathic Treatment?

​

Osteopathic therapy is a gentle treatment in which the manual osteopath can use pressure or small movements on the right structure to bring balance back to the body. It is manual therapy, which means the therapist is doing both assessment and treatment with only their hands. The manual osteopath must consider all parts of the body, such as the joints, viscera, craniosacral system, and fluid system (arteries, veins and lymph) and also understand how they interact with each other. All of these systems are connected and working together. This means the cause or the problem may not always be where the pain or the symptom is. The manual osteopath uses manual techniques to balance all the body systems and to provide overall good health and wellbeing.   Services are covered under most insurance plans.
