Osteopathy is a manual form of holistic therapy including cranio-sacral therapy that treats the entire individual including infants, children, adolescents, athletes, and adults.
The focus of 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.
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use palpation and manipulative techniques to restore balance to muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissue, and internal organs.
Fertility Services
Osteopathy is a gentle and safe therapy that can help prepare the body for an optimal environment for conceiving. If medical reasons have been excluded, functional disorders can compromise the fertilization of the embryo. Osteopathy seeks to restore any structural or biomechanical imbalances that may cause dysfunction of the reproductive systems in both men and women.
Pregnancy Care
Osteopathic treatments are gentle and can help the body to accommodate the many transformations it goes through during pregnancy. It is a very effective treatment for all sorts of pain and other common pregnancy concerns including the following:
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Heartburn
• Sciatic pain
• Morning sickness
• Constipation
• Frequent urination
• Circulatory issues
Postpartum Care
Osteopathic treatments can help the body on the road to recovery during the postpartum period. As the organs, joints, and connective tissue work to get back to a pre-pregnancy state, Osteopathy can support that shift and ensure that nothing gets “stuck” along the way. Treatments can also be very effective for all of the following:
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Sciatic pain
• Other chronic pain

Osteopathy can be a wonderful manual treatment for infants, and in most cases can help alleviate many symptoms.
