Imagine not being able to play with your kids or enjoy your favorite hobbies due to persistent discomfort.

At Soumbos Osteopathy, I specialize in providing effective, non-invasive treatments to alleviate pain and improve your quality of life.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a precise and gentle hands-on manual therapy that focuses on the musculoskeletal system and its connection to overall health. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OMPs) believe the body has an inherent ability to heal itself when its structure is balanced. Through gentle manipulation and techniques, OMPs address restrictions in muscles, joints, and connective tissues, promoting optimal function and pain relief.

Osteopathic Techniques

Using various manual assessment and technique modalities, Osteopathic Manual Practitioners work to identify and ease restrictions, constrictions and pain; reduce swelling; improve tissue mobility; and promote proper function and healing in people of all ages. There are four main types of techniques used in Osteopathy: soft tissue manipulation, Osteopathic articular technique, cranial Osteopathy, and visceral manipulation.

Soft Tissue Manipulation

This method is used to evaluate the condition of tissues, ease restrictions, help the body’s fluids (blood, lymph, etc.) flow smoothly and restore function.

Osteopathic Articular Technique

The osteopathic articular technique, involving gently moving two joint surfaces, is used to reduce muscle spasms, ease neurological irritations, assist in joint mobility and help reduce pain and discomfort.

Cranial Osteopathy

It is used to assess and treat the mobility of the cranium and its contents. It may also be used to assess and treat the spine, sacrum and other parts of the body.
