Osteopathy

W e offer osteopathy in Calgary for those looking for a gentle, hands-on approach to improving how their body moves and functions. Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach to health and movement, looking at how different areas of the body may influence one another. Rather than focusing solely on the area that hurts, osteopathic care looks at the bigger picture and considers relationships between the muscles, joints, connective tissues, posture, and movement patterns. Treatment is gentle and hands-on, using techniques such as soft tissue work, joint mobilization, stretching, and other manual approaches. While physiotherapy often focuses on rehabilitation and exercise, and chiropractic care commonly focuses on the spine and nervous system, osteopathy takes a broader look at how the body functions as a connected system. It may be helpful for pain, stiffness, restricted movement, tension, and a variety of musculoskeletal concerns.
