First Appointment
At your initial appointment, Michelle will address your reason for seeking out osteopathy and get down to business using various gentle hands-on techniques guided by osteopathic principles.
Together we will uncover solutions that partner with the inner workings of your body and you as an individual. All initial osteopathic treatments are individualized based on your needs at the time of treatment.
The treatment includes assessment and gentle manual therapy on a custom osteopathy table.
You will likely feel new sensorial feedback in your body and be tired the evening after an initial treatment. This is because the effects of the treatment continue to work behind the scenes for a few days as the tissues enjoy the outcome of moving toward your health and wholeness.
If Michelle suspects any other specific treatment outcomes pertaining to your treatment, she will inform you at your visit.
The Goal of Treatment
With the precision of osteopathy, It is possible to greatly improve the functions of the skeletal system, nervous system, all circulatory systems, and the immune system. The goal is to optimize the functions of these systems so your body works efficiently day to day as the unified organism it is.
Osteopathy includes many hands-on strategies to elicit changes to the structures and functions of the body. Allowing Integration to take place between regions and systems of the body/being is key to the osteopathic approach. Often you will notice that other healthy choices you are making for your well-being will be easier to follow through with and provide more benefit to you after the integrative outcomes of osteopathic treatment.
