Structural Manipulation
Structural manipulation is a hands-on approach that focuses on restoring balance, mobility, and optimal function to the body’s musculoskeletal system. Through skilled palpation and targeted manual techniques, manual practitioners assess how bones, muscles, joints, and connective tissues are moving—and where they’re not.
The goal is simple: identify structural restrictions, improve alignment, and support the body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate. Techniques may include gentle stretching, myofascial release, joint articulation, soft-tissue work, massage and, individual’s needs and comfort.
People often seek structural manipulation for issues such as back or neck pain, postural strain, joint limitations, sports injuries, or chronic tension. By addressing the root mechanical imbalances rather than just the symptoms, osteopathic care helps improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall functional well-being.
In essence, manual structural manipulation brings the body back into alignment—so it can move, perform, and feel its best.
