Osteopathic Treatments are conducted with the use of manual readjustments, myofascial release (the release of pain which is caused by muscle irritation) and other physical manipulation of muscle tissue and bones. The position, quality and mobility of the body are used to both assess and treat the body for any symptoms which are present.

Often described as a “combination of chiropractic care and massage therapy,” the main difference between Osteopathy and chiropractic care is that an Osteopathic practitioner can manually assess and treat the body’s organs which require assistance to function optimally. Treatments typically involve the patient laying comfortably on a professional massage table while the practitioner conducts their treatment. Session lengths can vary depending upon the needs of the patients and as determined by the Osteopathic practitioner.

Interestingly, The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the Osteopathic concept of somatic dysfunction as being scientifically proven.

As with acupuncture, various forms of osteopathy exist. Amit Dureja is our very own  Manual Osteopathic Practitioner, specializing in this variation of the osteopathy with his years of international experience with clients from diverse backgrounds.
