Are you living with an injury or condition that’s causing you discomfort?
If so, osteopathic manual therapy at Central Physiotherapy & Massage may be able to help.
Osteopathic Manual therapy is a form of treatment that focuses not only on the affected area in question, but rather how all systems in the body work together to fight off injury and illness.
The focus of Manual Osteopathy is to find the cause of the pathology or pain, and to treat all the systems and their connections in the body. Osteopathy restores normal structure and movement and facilitates the body to return to a state of health.
There are a few different techniques used in manual osteopathy. The type of treatment you need will depend on what you’d like to achieve. Here are four techniques you might experience during a MO treatment:
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation works on your organs specifically. It helps align organs and make sure they’re in the proper place, which keeps them functioning at their best. Issues in just one organ can affect your body in so many ways, which is why clients with all types of challenges seek out visceral manipulation.
Advanced Myofascial Release
Connective tissue in your body (known as “fascia”) is largely responsible for keeping everything in place. Trauma, scarring, and inflammation can cause the smooth layers of fascia to become tight and tense, and to stop moving properly.
Osteoarticular Manipulation
Focusing on aligning the joints and bones of the body, osteoarticular manipulation can help decrease pain and tension and increase mobility.
Craniosacral Therapy
Using subtle, light touches, craniosacral therapy acts on the skull and sacrum (the wedge-shaped vertebrae at the bottom of your spine). This treatment helps with the movement of cerebrospinal fluid, but in doing so, it impacts the entire body.
In summary, Osteopathic Manual Therapy focuses on the healing properties of the whole body, rather than just isolated parts of the body. If you have been living with pain or discomfort and you’d like to learn more about how osteopathy can benefit you, don’t hesitate to contact Central Physiotherapy & Massage today.
According to OSTCAN, “Practitioners of Osteopathic Manual Therapy follow the theory that imbalances in the human structure contribute to or are directly related to the development and/or maintenance of disease. Anatomy and physiology is the foundation of Osteopathic treatment. Practitioners recognize that the human body is self-regulating and self-healing – and will strive for health if given a chance. Our role is to encourage this self-healing capacity through manual treatment – to convert the physical into the physiological. We allow nature to do its job of removing any and all obstacles and obstructions that will interfere with the proper nutrition and drainage of the body’s tissue. Understanding and adjusting the anatomical unity of the human structure is our job.”
Osteopathic treatments can be implemented and adapted for any injury, illness, or otherwise uncomfortable condition. Osteopathic Manual Therapy is a one-on-one approach to recovery with you and your practitioner. It has been known to help patients prevent illness, disease, and injuries.
The hands-on approach of Osteopathic Manual Therapy allows our practitioners to provide natural, safe, and non-invasive treatments. This also helps improve the body’s natural tendency toward self-healing.
One of the biggest differentiations between Osteopathic Manual Therapy and other modalities is that it looks beyond symptoms and instead treats the whole patient. At Central Physiotherapy & Massage, our goal is not to simply relieve your symptoms, but to help your entire body heal and recover.
