ALL ABOUT OSTEOPATHY
All About Osteopathy
Developed by medical doctors in the 1870’s in the USA, Osteopathic medicine is one of the original hands-on, western modalities for musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular health. Osteopaths are becoming widely known for their full body approach to examining, diagnosing and treating pain.
When we move, our whole body needs to work together as one, it is not a collection of individual parts working independently. Osteopaths look at the body as one unit, not in isolated areas. They diagnose the ‘pain causing tissue’, but aim to find the true, or primary cause. For example, other restricted spinal joints, tight adjacent muscles and areas of weakness or instability.
Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and treat using a wide variety of hands-on techniques to influence the spinal vertebrae, joints, muscles, nervous system, circulatory system and the health of your internal organs.
THESE TECHNIQUES INCLUDE:
- Deep and soft tissue massage
- Joint mobilisation
- Muscle energy technique
- Myofascial release
- Spinal manipulation
- Visceral mobilisation
- Exercise prescription

After having babies , I found my back and shoulders were always tight from picking them up and holding them for long periods of time etc. I recently had a massage with Riley and it feels so much better now! She worked through tight spots I didn't know I had and I left feeling so much more revitalised. I promise I won't leave it as long between massages next time!read more

After over a year of lower back pain, I was recommended by a friend to see Sam, at All About Movement. It was one of the best decisions I have made. After seeing several other Health Professionals, and not getting much improvement, I am now pain free and feel empowered to manage my back problem. I cannot recommend Sam and his team highly enough.read more

I've been seeing Sam for 5-6yrs now to tend to my back issues and will continue doing so at this new clinic of his. He's knowledgeable, capable and always manages to find the root cause of my issues as well as give honest and well thought out advice on how to manage and address the issues going forward. The folks around Newmarket are lucky to conveniently have an experienced and capable osteo such as Sam in their area. Highly recommend seeing Sam for any musculoskeletal ailments.read more
