WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Patient-Centered Treatment
Osteopathy is a client-centred discipline that is based on understanding the relationship between structure and function in order to enhance the body’s inherent ability to heal. It relies on skilled manual therapeutic techniques to assess and treat a person, assisting the intrinsic self-healing properties of the body. I use an anatomic and physiologic approach to regulate the nervous system, and to restore health and vitality.
TREATMENT & THERAPY
The Tools You Need
Myofascial Release, Somatic Experiencing and traditional Osteopathic models form our integrated approach in treating patients. We take a whole person perspective when addressing signs of imbalance and restriction, working from their origins to their symptoms. A major goal of Osteopathy is to assist the inherent healing forces of your body to be unhindered in restoring health. This is fundamental to ensuring our patients’ long-term health and wellness.
ASSESSMENT & DIAGNOSIS
What to Expect
At Lighthouse Osteopathy, we listen to your story and take a detailed history. We complete a thorough assessment of your entire structure and create an individualized treatment plan to achieve the therapeutic goals we set together. I meet patients where they are on their health journey, from people who have never experienced Osteopathy, to fellow therapists who are looking to rejuvenate and heal their own lives.
