Apex Osteopathy

Apex Osteopathy is a unique health care offering where the worlds of clinical sports medicine and athletic performance training collide. Osteopathy is a natural medicine which aims to restore function in the body by treating the causes of pain and imbalance. To achieve this the osteopathic manual practitioner relies on the quality and finesse of his/her palpation and works with the position, mobility and quality of the tissues. This advanced system of health care embraces the philosophy that the body has a natural ability to be self-sufficient and to heal itself. The key factor that permits this process to proceed unimpeded is the ability of the body to freely circulate all of its fluids including blood, nerves, lymph, synovial fluid, digestive juices, cerebrospinal fluid and all other intracellular and extracellular fluids of the body. For those who have experienced it no explanation is necessary, and for those who have not, no explanation is viable that could possibly do it justice.

Practitioners trained in manual osteopathy evaluate and address the musculoskeletal, neurological, visceral, circulatory and cranial systems. An extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics allows the practitioner to find impairments in the body that can be treated to restore optimal function in the body. Assessment involves the entire body and fascinating links between different body regions and systems are typically discovered which explain why treating the site of pain has not been successful.
