Osteopathy & Craniosacral Therapy at Alliance
Manual osteopathic therapy is a hands-on, holistic assessment of the whole body, first described by Dr. A.T. Still in the 1800s. It focuses on the musculoskeletal system to re-establish balance and support the body's own self-healing, using joint mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, and prescribed exercise. Craniosacral therapy uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve compression-related stress and pain.
