About Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a 'hands on' manual therapy and one of the oldest approaches to the treatment of joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue (fascia/lymph). In treating these structures, the functions of the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, and also the circulatory, respiratory and immune systems of the body are able to heal more effectively.

Founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, an American physician sought a different approach to health care. Osteopathy was born; a therapy where non-medicinal and non-surgical ways of healing would promote the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.

Various stresses and strains on the body through aging, trauma, illness, surgical scarring, childbirth, or the cumulative effects of mental, emotional, physical stresses impede the natural efficiency of our body’s health. Treatments take into account how the whole body moves and adjusts to pain.

Osteopathic manual practitioners work with the patient to facilitate good structural alignment, tissue health and organ functions that will alleviate pain and prevent symptom re-occurrence. Osteopathy aims to improve the patients' acute dysfunctions and provide long-term health and vitality.

About Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the science of human movement. It focuses on how the body functions and moves. A kinesiological approach applies the latest evidenced based medicine principles to preserve and enhance human movement in all settings and populations. *

Whatever your physical condition, concern, or current status we can help you overcome the obstacles to better health.
