3. Osteopathy • Osteopaths believe that the body has all it needs to maintain a good functioning state and to heal itself when required and that all body systems are interrelated and dependent on one another. We think of each patient as a whole, in its entirety; including, bones, muscles, nerves, organs, fluids, where by, each body tissue is connected and can affect one another.  • A Have you even been in a session and find yourself wondering why your Osteopathic Practitioner is also looking at your ankle when you were just coming in for headaches? Here’s why – a sprained ankle may be responsible for your headaches due to your body’s own interrelationships and adaptations.

4. Osteopathy • Of course, it is never cut and dry, and rarely with one sole reason, so here’s couple examples: • One of the most common ways an ankle is sprained is rolling on the outside. This pattern will modify the tone in your muscles, pull and create downward tension in your fascia and secondarily affect other structures that are linked and connected to these systems. For example…your lateral fascial chain is connected from the outside of your foot/ankle and travels all the way up to the outside of you cranium/skull and your ear – passing and connecting all the anatomical structures in between, such as, your knee, hip and pelvis.

5. Osteopathy • The ankle injury can change the way the joints of the foot and ankle glide and move – and just me, there are a lot of joints in the ankle/foot! This change in mobility will impact how well neighboring joints glide and move and subsequently, their neighboring joints. • Overall, we are not only treating symptoms; our belief is that we want to look for the root cause, the one that is at the origin of the issue (causing the problem). In many instances this can be in a different area from the one that is actually hurting; the idea is to not just treat your symptoms in isolation, rather treat your symptoms, as well as, identifying and treating the cause(s).

6. The Techniques • During our training, we learn a lot of various techniques to be able to adequately respond to your needs. It enables us to have large range of tools we can use to best match what your body is expecting; this is dependent on your tissues, on the issue(s) you are coming for and what kind of treatment you are more comfortable with. • Of course we can use the well-known adjustment technique if we have to, but it’s very rare and we are mainly and more likely to use gentle techniques, with a lower-velocity and more in harmony with your body.

7. The Techniques • We work on all kinds and layers of body tissue; bones, of course, but also muscles, ligaments, fascia, nerves, organs and even fluids. Think of your body like a sliced tree trunk, exposing all the life layers of the tree. Simply put – that is your body. • Here’s an example – if you are coming in with back pain, yes an Osteopathic Practitioner is interested in correcting a vertebrae that may be out of alignment, but we are also concerned with investigating and normalizing the fascial elements preceding the boney layer, as well as, the membranous or “dural” & vascular layer that lies deeper than and within the spinal column.

8. Osteopathic Manual Practitioner Vs Other Forms Of Treatment • Philosophy: As mentioned earlier Osteopaths believe that a problem can result from anywhere in the body. If you have pain, this will change the way you move, the way you function, thus affecting not only the place where the pain is felt but also elsewhere because of adaptations • Treatment : Osteopathic Manual Practice treatment is a holistic, global treatment, often about 45 to 60 minutes. As we already talked about Osteopathic Manual Practice techniques above, I’ll just add we believe that by working on soft tissues before adjusting a joint for example, it will be less aggressive with less overtreatment reaction.
