osteopathic Services

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. By using slow, controlled movements, it helps reduce pain and stiffness, making it effective for conditions such as arthritis, join injuries and post-surgical recovery. ​
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.
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation helps restore mobility to the spine by applying a controlled force to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension and improve spinal function. This technique is effective for treating back pain, neck pain and stiffness.

muscle energy techniques
Muscle energy techniques (MET) use your own muscle contractions against a controlled resistance to release tension, improve join mobility, and enhance circulation. This technique is highly effective in treating muscle spasms, reducing pain, restoring proper alignment, and preventing injuries. in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back. It’s particularly beneficial for improving movement in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back, and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.​​

Visceral manipulation focuses on the gentle movement and manipulation of the body's internal organs to improve their mobility and function. By addressing issues such as digestive discomfort, respiratory problems, or post-surgical adhesions, visceral manipulation helps restore balance to the body's internal systems, improving overall health and well-being.
