True motion is essential for health. Your lungs breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. You use your musculoskeletal system to move you from one location to another. BUT did you know that every part of your body moves? Every part of your body actually inhales and exhales; expands and contracts. Your bones, muscles and ligaments of course. But your brain, your liver, your lymphatic system and your intestines expand and contracts as well. In order to achieve real health, your body... your entire body... must have true motion.
Osteopathy is a modality of healing that aims to work with the natural machinery of the body for normal or reparative function. It involves Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) or hands on approach to ensure that every part of the body (including muscles, bones, nerves, fascia and even your organs) are moving as intended. If something in your body is not moving properly it can not function properly and that can lead to organ fatigue and eventually disease. We truly believe that preventative medicine is the essence of Osteopathy.
