Have you ever of Manual Osteopathic Therapy? A treatment modality that incorporates multiple techniques to treat a wide range of dysfunction, it’s a hands-on therapy that looks at full-body health.

Using a variety of techniques to address imbalances in the body, our therapists treat muscles, bones, joints and fascia through the soft tissues of the body to achieve and maintain structural balance and health. Using specific techniques such as cranial-sacral work, fascial work, and visceral manipulation, we're able to treat your whole body from a holistic approach.

The Benefits of Manual Osteopathic Therapy

At Elysian, we look to address your chronic pain issues so you can reach the height of your health potential. The goal of osteopathy is to treat not only the specific injury but also the other structures that may be the root cause of the disease. Treating the body as a whole gives us the ability to stabilize global function, not just one small section of the body. 

Osteopathy can remove the underlying cause of pain by reducing stiffness in muscles and joints and improving joint range of motion. Our therapists work with the body's ability to heal itself.

From pain relief, women's health, Cranio-sacral therapy, concussion recovery, and digestion support, our team is fully versed in managing symptoms and speeding recovery.

How Osteopathy Can Help Your Daily Headaches 

Headaches have many root causes and can even come from tight plantar fascia muscles (in the bottom of your feet). By correcting alignment and restoring mobility in the spine and joints, osteopathic treatment can decrease muscular tension, increase blood flow and reduce nerve irritation, getting rid of the headaches for good.

Properly identifying why your headaches are being caused will result in long-term relief rather than short-term gratification.

The Difference Between Osteopathy and Physiotherapy

You’ll find some overlap between osteopathy and physiotherapy. The main difference in treatment is that Osteopathic Practitioners don’t use any tools, they only use their hands! 

Outside of the muscular system, Osteopathic Practitioners treat the skeletal system, and lymphatic systems, and perform craniosacral therapy. They can specifically treat the structures of a patient’s head to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, assist with headaches, and much more.

The most unique factor of Manual Osteopathic Therapists is that they treat the viscera. Treating organs has a huge array of benefits for the body’s function and in treating disease. Doing so can aid in Gastro-Intestinal dysfunction, Menstrual dysfunction (cramps), Asthma, and so on, as chronic pain can be caused by organs not functioning properly.

Manual Osteopathic Therapy creates balance in the body by using many
specialized advanced manipulations of the fascia, bone, joints, cranium, and organs,
in short, all of the body’s structures.
