Osteopathic treatment is gentle and non-invasive, using palpation and force delivery that are tailored to each patient’s specific needs and health condition for that day. 

The process begins with structural assessments, comparing and contrasting body motion patterns to identify the root cause of the patient’s problems.  Treatment can be administered in various positions, including seated, lying on your back, lying face down, or lying on either side.

Osteopathy believes the body is a collection of interconnected systems and parts working together, so symptoms may stem from other unresolved causes that need to be addressed first to improve overall health.  Typically, treatments last between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the individual’s response to the treatment application.

Treatment doesn’t end in the treatment room.  The post-treatment integration period is just as important as the treatment itself.

Please be mindful of your physical activity level in the first 24 hours after treatment. This rest period and adjustment to your body’s new routine are crucial components of the treatment plan.
