Osteopathy starts with a medical questionnaire and initial evaluation. During this evaluation, the osteopath may use hands-on techniques like palpation, a high sense of touch developed to detect any modifications in your tissues. By examining the position, mobility and vitality of the tissues, they look for signs of congestion, dehydration, scarring, stiffness, density and loss of resilience. From this assessment, the osteopath will determine which tissues or systems require (the most) immediate attention and develop a treatment plan. They will use stretching, pressure, massage, mobilization and manipulation through a variety of specific techniques, all aimed at restoring your normal function. Treatment sessions are often booked specific to your needs, allowing your body to integrate the changes and begin self-healing.
