Osteopathic Philosophy

The very essence of the osteopathic philosophy leads animal osteopathic manual therapists (AOMTs) to partnering with other paraprofessionals in order to set the animal up for success.

Alongside manual therapy, animals may need veterinary care, training, physiotherapy, farriery, etc. depending on their condition in order to optimize their health

💡 Did you know?

Pain isn’t always caused by the area that hurts.

Spinal restriction can show up as:

Shoulder pain

Headaches

Hip or knee discomfort

Ongoing stiffness

That’s why assessment matters just as much as treatment.

Why osteopathy?

🧠 What does osteopathy actually look at?

Osteopathy focuses on how the body moves as a whole — joints, muscles, spine and nervous system all working together.

Pain often appears away from the real cause, which is why assessment of posture and movement is so important.

A spinal health check helps identify:
✔ Areas of restriction
✔ Postural imbalance
✔ Compensations that may lead to pain
