soft tissue manipulation

Soft tissue manipulation targets the muscles, tendons and ligaments to release tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Techniques like massage and myofascial release can be used to address muscle strains, tightness, and chronic pain, helping to restore normal tissue function and reduce discomfort. 

joint mobilization

Joint mobilization is a gentile, hands-on technique that focuses on improving the range of motion of stiff or restricted joints.

stretching

Stretching is an integral part of osteopathic care, aimed at increasing flexibility, improving posture, and relieving muscle tightness. By gently lengthening the muscles, we help restore normal movement patterns, prevent injuries, and alleviate the discomfort caused by muscle stiffness or overuse.
