Osteopathy
Structural Osteopathy
Musculoskeletal approaches towards health and wellbeing have been around for
thousands of years. Still, they become more and more sophisticated. It has long been
recognized that our skeletal alignment is of paramount importance to a healthy and strong
body.
Our bones are held in place by muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. The whole system is
covered by connective tissues and eventually the skin, the largest organ of our body.
Considering our body as a closed circuit, one element blocked or out of alignment
eventually may cause the entire system to fail.
Using a variety of manual techniques our goal is to get to the source of a problem and
solve it in a way that aims at eliminating any recurrence and is designed to improve overall
vitality and health.
Osteopathy is a treatment approach which offers in-depth and inclusive remedial
techniques for many structural and functional imbalances. In many cases where
chiropractic treatment with its direct approach is counter-indicated or ineffective,
osteopathy can still achieve lasting results without posing any dangers to a potentially
fragile body.
In an osteopathic treatment the status of muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well the
connective tissue is considered. Blockages are removed prior to any mobilization of the
joints. Unlike during a chiropractic treatment, in an osteopathic treatment frequently the
patient is required to play an active role. This may involve resistance, repeat-motion,
specific breathing techniques, etc. on part of the patient.
Several other traditional manual techniques are used at the Natural Medicine Centre. And,
while Rivkah Roth has separate certification in these modalities, their proximity to
structural osteopathy frequently is remarkable.
