New Clinic Safety Protocols

Clinic protocol has been adapted in response to the continuing changes of our community landscape regarding Covid-19 and other infectious disease. Please review details here.

Clinic Guidelines

Manual Osteopathy is a client-centered approach to health and wellness, guided by principles that recognize each individual as a whole. The inherent drive of the human body to auto-regulate is at the heart of osteopathic work.

Manual Osteopathy seeks to find and release primary tensions that prevent an individual from being, feeling and functioning at an optimal level.

Only the hands are used in the service of osteopathy. Your Osteopathic Manual Practitioner has an in-depth understanding of the direct relationship between the structure (anatomy) of the body and function (physiology) of the body.

Osteopathy is provided with the goal of releasing tension mechanisms in the body and facilitating natural, self-healing by promoting autoregulation. Practitioners of Manual Osteopathy recognize that a person’s state of health and wellbeing is the culmination of many life experiences.

Manual Osteopathy is best understood through experience, as the sensation is unique and not comparable to other well-known therapies.

Osteopathic methodology is based on the following four principles:

Structure and function are inter-related. The container of the body (muscles, bones, fascia) and the function of it's contents (organs and systems) has a reciprocal relationship

The body is autoregulatory. It innately seeks balance between all systems.

The rule of the artery is absolute. Healthy circulation of all fluids is the foundation of health

The body functions as a whole

Osteopathic Care

The osteopathic practitioner’s hands are their most valuable tool. Evaluation and osteopathic care are provided through gentle touch.

Using perceptive fingers we search out and release tension patterns in reference to posturology and soft-tissue tension, and work with the bodies ability to auto-regulate.
