What to Expect in an Osteopathic Manual Therapy Session

What to Expect in an Osteopathy Session

Osteopathic Manual Practice, Athletic Therapy and Cranial Sacral Therapy may be different than other forms of therapy you’ve undergone.

At Ananta, we work with only one patient per session, allowing for a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment of structures involved with the limitations presented for that day. Sessions are usually 60 minutes in length.

We also educate and prescribe exercises specific, appropriate for each patient. All rehabilitation exercises are prescribed, monitored and progressed appropriately by a qualified practitioner. You can expect a full body, manual and active rehabilitation approach.

Our treatment techniques use a light touch and a hands-on approach to treat pain, loss of mobility and vitality, as well as, dysfunction. We will begin by talking about how your body is feeling and what brought you into the clinic. We will then evaluate your injury or condition by using a variety of assessment tools and by dialoguing with the tissues. 

We recommend that you wear loose fitting clothing, shorts, T-shirts or tank tops. You may be asked to bring appropriate footwear, such as runners, you may be shown exercises as part of your active rehabilitation.

We will use pillows and blankets so you can be completely relaxed and comfortable. Sessions can be as quiet or as interactive as you would like. In all cases the sessions will be specific to your needs.

The number and frequency of sessions required varies depending on the injury or condition. Our Osteopathic Practitioners and Athletic Therapists do not diagnose or practice medicine, nor do we attempt to treat disease. If you are concerned about any medical pathology and /or disease, always consult your physician prior to exploring Athletic and/or Osteopathic Manual Practice.
