Manual care
Osteopathic Manual Therapy
Osteopathy is a manual health approach that emphasizes the relationship between the body’s structure (bones, joints, fascia, muscles, fluids) and its function. Practitioners use palpation and hands‑on techniques (osteopathic manipulative treatment, myofascial release, joint mobilization, cranial techniques, etc.) to identify and address restrictions that may contribute to pain or reduced function.
