APPOINTMENTS

What should you expect from your evaluation and treatment?

Manual osteopathic treatment is completed while the patient is fully clothed, with occasional skin contact to facilitate direct treatment. Bring in your completed intake form for your initial osteopathic assessment and arrive a few minutes early to relax prior to your appointment.

Be sure to come dressed comfortably in loose fitting clothing, to ensure best results for your session.

Ryan’s treatment is very goal-oriented, actively engaging the patient in their recovery to attain long-term results for chronic pain.

During your visit, your Osteopathic Manual Practitioner will make a health assessment utilizing your case history, orthopedic tests and hands on techniques that range from a very light touch to a deeper touch with increased pressure. Precise palpation skills can detect areas of diminished mobility, dysfunction and areas of restriction.

Treatment on restoring balance and normalizing areas of dysfunction through a number of very gentle techniques that focus on releasing tension, mobilizing joints and stretching muscles. Science based manual osteopathic techniques focus on finding the underlying cause of the symptoms, whether near to or distant from the person’s area of complaint. Manual osteopathy views the body as one whole unit, not as separate parts, and takes into consideration the skeletal system as well as underlying tissues, nerves, lymph and blood vessels.

In addition, Ryan guides individuals through fitness assessments and therapeutic exercises for faster results and may suggest home stretches and exercises for long term improvement dealing with managing pain and chronic pain.

Your health and well being is your responsibility and Ryan understands that once a person is dealing with injury – compensatory habits can set in. Through his kinesiology background Ryan observes the levers and compensatory muscles in the body. He understands the importance of engaging one set of muscles while activating the body’s relaxation pathways for overworked or compensatory muscles.

Through humor and encouragement – and utilizing deep breathing – healthy habits can be relearned. Ryan provides a fun environment to get the most out of your sessions and for sustained results.
