Everyone! Osteopathic treatment is helpful and safe for people of all ages; for all levels of mobility and for pregnant women (second trimester and onwards).
Our aim is to work with the body, not impose treatment upon it. If you are limited in the positions that you can move into (seated, lying on your back, side or stomach), we will work with you in the position that is most comfortable.
Treatment is comprised of gentle hands on treatment, no aggressive maneuvers.

Please remove your shoes in the waiting area. For your safety and comfort, I will also ask you to remove your hat, glasses, belt and bulky jewelry if applicable.

The amount of treatments depends person to person as everyone responds to treatment differently. We will discuss your individual goals during your initial appointment. Longer standing restrictions tend to take longer to resolve.
Typically, it is beneficial to have appointments closer together in the beginning such as one week or two weeks apart, then becoming less frequent later on.
My ultimate goal is to help put your body in a place where you do not have to rely on frequent treatment.
