What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine that emphasizes physical manipulation of the body’s muscles and bones. Osteopathic manual practitioners treat patients with non-invasive, drug-free, and hands-on techniques, which is based on extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. The philosophy of osteopathy is based on four basic principles:
- Each structure in the body supports its function.
- The natural flow of the body’s fluid, including lymphatic vascular and neurological fluid must be preserved and maintained.
- The human body is the sum of its parts. Its physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive systems don’t work independently. They work in harmony.
- When the body has no restrictions, it has the inherent ability to heal itself.

Is Osteopathy Good for Joint & Muscle Pain?
Osteopathy can be a successful treatment for muscles and joint pain. During an osteopathy session, a practitioner will manually treat your muscles through massages, stretches, and thrusts, to activate the blood flow in the area. This will ease the pain, increase mobility and accelerate the healing.
Joint pain tends to affect those who’ve had injuries, play sports, suffer from arthritis and other chronic conditions, and experience depression, anxiety, or stress. In the case of chronic diseases, although osteopathy cannot reverse the damage, it can help to slow down the disease, as well as ease the pain and enhance mobility.

What to expect during an osteopathic treatment session
The osteopathic manual practitioner will conduct a detailed assessment to find out the areas of weakness, tenderness, restriction or strain within your body based on your chief complaint.
A treatment plan based on your condition will be discussed with you.
Based on your condition, the treatment session can include soft tissue manipulation, osteopathic articular technique, cranial therapy,
or visceral manipulation.
The first appointment will last 60min – 75 min. The subsequent treatments typically last 30 – 60mins.
