There are a variety of Osteopathic treatments, Dr. Chris’ practice focuses on Cranial Osteopathy and gentle touch to engage your body’s innate ability to heal.  You might only need a single treatment for a minor, acute medical condition. However, chronic medical issues or trauma, may require multiple sessions.

During a session, you may notice different areas of restrictions and contractions, feelings, memories and thoughts; with treatment you may feel a release (physical, emotional and/or mental), decreased pain, increased range of motion, improved muscle and joint movements, improved respiratory and digestive health, improved flow through the cerebrovascular and lymphatic systems, relaxation, a sense of balance or harmony, and a change in the perception or understanding of your body. You may come to recognize how your body comprises a complex system that is expressing health at any given moment well beyond the session.

To assist your body with healing, you may consider reducing your level of strenuous activity after a session and engaging in other forms of self-care.

“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.” — Dr. A.T. Still
