What is Osteopathy?
OSTEOPATHY is a client-centred discipline that is based on understanding the relationship between structure and function in order to enhance the body’s inherent ability to heal. It relies on skilled manual therapeutic techniques to assess and treat the client, guiding the natural self-healing properties of the human body.
The PHILOSOPHY OF OSTEOPATHY is based on four basic principles:
1. Each structure in the body supports the body’s functions.
2. The natural flow of the body’s fluids – lymphatic, vascular and neurological – must be preserved and maintained.
3.The human body is the sum of its parts. Its physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive systems don’t work independently - they work in harmony.
4.When the body has no restrictions, it has the inherent ability to heal itself.
OSTEOPATHIC MANUAL PRACTITIONERS recognize a person as an integrated whole. When all of the body’s components are in balance, a person is complete and in total health. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners work to maintain, improve and restore the normal physiological function of interrelated body structures and systems, enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Kaili's Approach to TreatmentKaili strives to identify the root cause of dysfunction within your body, understanding that each person is unique and requires individual treatment considerations. She acknowledges the importance of patient education and empowerment as part of the healing process.
The process begins with a review of your health history and goals, followed by a full body assessment in order to understand how your body functions as a whole and to identify areas of restriction. A variety of osteopathic manual therapy techniques are employed in order to provide you with the care needed to help restore function and aid your body's ability to heal. Osteopathic manual therapy techniques utilized include soft tissue manipulation, osteopathic articular technique (gentle joint mobilization), craniosacral technique and visceral manipulation. Clients are often given supplementary education and exercises to perform at home in order for them to become active and engaged throughout the process. This creates a dynamic where individuals become invested in their own healing, reaching their wellness goals through restoring and maintaining a connection with their physical bodies. Kaili strives to create a space that is safe and peaceful in order to promote a calm nervous system. This allows for reconnection of body and mind, which is necessary for healing to occur. |
