MANUAL TREATMENTS IN SEATTLE

We are dedicated to providing personalized care.

I fell in love with hands on treatments taught to all my classmates in Osteopathic medical school. I did rotations in many different specialties in medical school. Surgical specialties rely on invasive procedures to help a patient recover function. Most medical specialties provide medications to guard against the long term stress on the body from chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. I fell in love with Osteopathic treatments because they holistically tap into the body’s natural healing ability, naturally reduce pain and holistically improve function. The Osteopathic techniques are considered manual therapy just like massage, chiropractic and physical therapy. The biggest difference I have seen is that osteopathic physicians are continually adjusting the treatment to the subtle cues of the patient’s tissues. Small changes in the direction or pressure can help the pain and tension melt away. Many of my patients feel like it is magic. But it is just careful listening through my hands to balance the tissues so the patient can heal.

The techniques are all based in anatomy and often utilize the natural response of the body to enhance the function and reduce pain holistically. Our services for manual treatment in Seattle employ gentle and effective techniques designed to alleviate pain, restore mobility and support the body’s natural healing processes. We are committed to improving the overall wellness of our patients and helping them achieve a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking for a drug-free and highly effective way to improve musculoskeletal function and experience pain relief, you should consider investing in manual treatments at 360 Osteopathy in Seattle. We have successfully applied this form of hands-on therapy successfully to address various issues in the musculoskeletal system, restore alignment and enhance mobility. We use a wide range of techniques including:

  • Joint mobilization: this is designed to gently improve movement in the joints. It involves the use of gentle, slow and controlled movements to reduce discomfort and restore proper joint function.
  • Soft tissue manipulation: this is designed to release tension in the muscles as well as to improve circulation. Our practitioners knead and apply gentle pressure to specific areas. This helps to release muscle knots, alleviate pain and encourage relaxation.
  • Stretching: this is applied to increase range of motion and flexibility while relieving stiffness. We apply active and passive stretching methods that are tailored to the patient’s condition. These safely restore balance and mobility.
  • Myofascial release: this is designed to ease restrictions in connective tissue. It promotes blood circulation while breaking down scar tissue. Our practitioners apply sustained pressure to tight or restricted areas to improve flexibility, reduce pain and enhance overall physical performance.

Any person can benefit from manual treatments. But most patients come to me after many other treatments have failed. Most patients have tried the “cookie cutter” approaches offered in standard treatments. The success of osteopathic treatments relies on good listening. Continual alteration of the treatment based on the continual feedback provided by the tissues of the patient’s body. Listening. And I think most treatments fail because changes in the tissue are not being monitored and even when the patient is communicating effectively, the provider doesn’t have the skill set to really listen to the patient and understand the anatomy or physiology of the tissue enough to help.

Manual treatment has proven effective for treating a wide range of conditions including:

  • Back, neck and joint pain
  • Injury recovery
  • Post surgical rehabilitation
  • Chronic headaches and migraines
