Forster Osteopathy

Forster Osteopathy Osteopathic Manual Therapy relies on the interconnectedness of the body’s anatomy and physiology to optimize the body’s natural self-healing processes.

What is Osteopathy? Osteopathy is a profession that makes extensive use of manual assessment and treatment guided by the principles set forth by its founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. Osteopathy emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body. Osteopaths are functional anatomists who use manual therapy. They find the health, rather than focus on disease. Osteopathic treatment works to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and the circulation of body fluids. What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy? Members of the Ontario Osteopathic Association are Osteopathic Manual Therapists. Practitioners of Osteopathic Manual Therapy follow the theory that imbalances in the human structure contribute to or are directly related to the development and/or maintenance of disease. Anatomy and physiology I’d the foundation of Osteopathic treatment. Practitioners recognize that the human body is self-regulating and self-healing - and will strive for health given the chance. Our role is to encourage this self-healing capacity through manual treatment - to convert the physical into the physiological. We allow nature to do its job of removing any and all obstacles and obstructions that will interfere with the proper nutrition and drainage of the body’s tissue. Understanding and adjusting the anatomical unity of the human structure is our job. What is Manual Osteopathy? Manual Osteopathic Practitioners are educated and trained to work exclusively without the use of drugs or surgery by using manual methods for structural assessment and treatment. This is the predominant method of education worldwide (outside of the USA) and it is what is currently present in Canada.
