• 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? Heres why
  a sprained ankle may be responsible for your
  headaches due to your bodys own
  interrelationships and adaptations.

• Osteopathy

• Of course, it is never cut and dry, and rarely
  with one sole reason, so heres 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 exampleyour
  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.

• 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).

• 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 its very rare and
  we are mainly and more likely to use gentle
  techniques, with a lower-velocity and more in
  harmony with your body.

• 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.
• Heres 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.

• 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,
  Ill 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.
