An introduction

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy. It aims for pain-free movement and better balance throughout the body. A manual osteopath assesses and treats restrictions in the musculoskeletal system to relieve pain and restore joint movement.

Osteopathic philosophy holds that the body's structure and function are connected, so even a small restriction in one place can affect how the whole body works. Treatment mobilizes and strengthens bones, muscles, fascia and joints, and aims to support the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

Your first visit

Time to understand your situation.

Your first visit is a 60-minute appointment. It starts with a conversation about your medical and physical history, followed by a visual head-to-toe assessment.

Julia then feels the area of discomfort and runs neuromuscular and orthopedic tests to check muscle strength and find the areas that are out of balance.

She'll explain what she finds, talk through a treatment plan with you, and treat your areas of concern with the time that's left. If she notices tension or weakness, she may suggest stretches or strengthening exercises to do at home.
