What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a Science and a Art based on principals directed by Natural law.
A hands on manual therapy that corrects deviations of structures such as joints, muscles, fascia, visceral connective tissues and ligaments to support functional stability and allow for the bodies self-regulatory and self-healing properties, through lymphatic, neurological and arterial regeneration. Chronic and acute injury, as well as systematic health issues can be improved with Osteopathic manual therapy. Osteopathy views the uniqueness of each patient as dynamic and adapting through integration of body, mind and spirit.

What to expect from Osteopathic Manual Treatments
Osteopathic Manual Treatment helps bring your body into alignment with gentle hands on manipulations to allow the body to heal and improve health. The initial assessment will dive into health history, lifestyle and current concerns before examining posture, mobility to make a contrast diagnosis of how structures are directly or indirectly managing to hold the bodies current state of health. A full body assessment is given, you will be asked to move in simple mobility tasks and gently moved as you relax on the table. The initial appointment will allow the body to release the bigger picture of structures so that increased blood circulation, freed nerve pathways can assimulate the treatment. Subsequent treatments continue to aid the changes that lay deeper from the surface to be tangible and primed to receive treatment. Follow up treatments will continue to return mobility, lower pain and encourage changes needed for returned vitality and health. 3-5 Treatments recommended over period of time is best to see the adequate changes, create stability and begin to feel like a new you!

Testimonial
I can’t say enough good things about Christine and her work in osteopathy.
From the moment you’re on the table, you can feel how intentional and thoughtful her approach is. She doesn’t just focus on where the pain is — she looks at the whole body and how everything is connected. It’s clear she’s not just treating symptoms, but really working to understand the root of what’s going on.
One experience that really stayed with me — I walked out of a session, and my gait had completely changed!!! I felt lighter, more aligned, and more in my body than I had in a long time. It was subtle but powerful, the kind of shift that makes you realize how much your body has been holding.
Christine creates such a safe, grounded space, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients and their healing process. She's absolutely incredible.
