An Osteopathic Approach is considering the whole body during evaluation and treatment of any injury or dysfunction.
Your Body is one Functional Unit
The foundation of an Osteopathic approach is grounded in the principle that all parts of the body function together as a unit. Following this integrative nature, if any one part of a system is restricted due to disease/ injury/ trauma/ overuse, the rest of the body will adapt.
However, depending on the culmination of stressors in one’s body, they may struggle to adapt, and compensatory patterns develop which overloads a system(s) beyond its intended capacity. This is when symptoms may ensue, such as pain, inflammation, stiffness, or other health conditions.
