Manual Osteopathy in Edmonton

Discovered and developed in the late 1900s by American physician Dr. Andrew Still, osteopathy is a holistic approach which seeks to remove obstructions to the body’s innate self-regulating abilities and improve mobility, reduce pain, and support functional wellbeing. What makes osteopathy unique is the highly refined sense of palpation, which the practitioner develops and uses, along with biomechanical analysis and physical assessments, to assess and treat the whole body. Rebalance Mind & Body provides manual osteopathy in Edmonton, delivering personalized treatments for those seeking improved movement, pain relief, and overall wellness.

Osteopathic techniques include:

• Cranial osteopathy: addresses the vitality and mobility of the dural membranes and cerebrospinal fluid, which nourish and protect the brain and spinal cord.
• Myofascial and connective tissue therapy: treats muscles, fascia and connective tissue restrictions to restore flexibility and reduce tension.
• Osteo-articular corrections: gentle manipulation of joints which relieve restriction and improve joint function and range of motion.
• Visceral manipulation: gentle but direct work to the organs, viscera, and their ligamentous/ fascial attachments to relieve pain and improve function.
