Classical Osteopathy
|
Osteopathy is an adjustive system of manual therapy that recognizes the unity of the body and helps to bring balance to it. Osteopathy does not simply treat symptoms; it addresses the root causes of the dysfunction by treating the body as a complete unit of function. A balanced body will allow for proper physiological functioning, thus promoting health and well-being throughout the multiple systems of the body. Osteopathy helps bring this balance about.
Osteopathy utilizes many manipulations that are common to all manual therapies, including massage therapy and physiotherapy. It is suitable for those who are not getting results, or are not comfortable, with other manual therapies. Osteopathy is gentle, rarely causes discomfort, and is suitable for all ages and most states of health. Please wear the same clothing you would wear if you were going to a fitness class.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy was developed by osteopathic physician John Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of multiple body systems.
CranioSacral therapy is particularly indicated for headaches, post-concussion recovery, and central nervous system disorders.

Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation was developed by Jean-Pierre Barral, a Physiotherapist and Osteopath, who developed it with colleagues in England and France between 1974 and 1987.
Visceral Manipulation reduces functional and structural imbalances throughout the body by gently evaluating and treating the organs, and the membranes, fascia and ligaments associated with them. It can relieve symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture by addressing strains in the connective tissue of the viscera. These strains, resulting from surgical scars, adhesions, illness, posture, and injury, create fixed, abnormal points of tension that create functional and structural problems.
The treatment is gentle and does not generally cause discomfort.
