Managing pain, restoring comfort – one step at a time
Osteopathic Manipulation
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) uses hands-on techniques to address
musculoskeletal dysfunctions, enhance mobility and restore balance to the body.
What is Osteopathic Manipulation?
Osteopathic manipulation focuses on the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, emphasizing the relationship between structure and function. Through gentle, precise techniques, our physiotherapists target joints, muscles, and soft tissues to:
Improve alignment and mobility.
Relieve pain and tension.
Enhance overall function and wellbeing.
Techniques in Osteopathic Manipulation
Our skilled therapists utilize various osteopathic techniques tailored to your needs, including:
1. Soft Tissue Techniques
o Relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow.
o Reduce restrictions in connective tissues.
2. Joint Mobilization
o Gentle, rhythmic movements to restore joint mobility.
3. Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
o Active techniques where patients contract muscles against resistance to improve mobility and reduce tension.
4. Craniosacral Therapy
o A light-touch method that targets the skull, spine, and sacrum to promote relaxation and neurological balance.
5. Visceral Manipulation
