Osteopathic Manual Therapy Explained

ejglover

You may wonder why we assess your back, hip, knee, and ankle when you come in with knee pain. Often, the root cause of pain isn't located where you feel it most. As osteopathic manual practitioners, we take a full-body approach to identify the true source of your discomfort. We specifically look for compensation patterns and lines of force affecting the problem area. Additionally, we check that your body's fluid exchange is working efficiently, helping to flush out swelling, debris, and waste while bringing in nutrients to support healing. Since muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and blood and lymph vessels are all interconnected, we ensure they are functioning together to help you move and feel your best.


Fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones—all play a role in your body's function. Our goal is to release any restrictions these tissues may place on your arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatics. By addressing these restrictions, we help restore your body’s natural ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Your body does the hard work of healing itself; we simply give it a helpful nudge in the right direction!


Even if you're not experiencing pain, osteopathic treatment can still benefit your body by optimizing movement and helping to prevent future injuries. Additionally, manual osteopathic therapy can help address other symptoms, such as digestive issues, sleep difficulties, and more, promoting overall well-being.
