“Helping You Identify Where You Are — and What Kind of Support Your Body Needs.”
Over the years, I’ve learned that every person who walks into my practice is at a different point in their journey — and that makes all the difference in how we work together.
If your problem is recent and acute, the body usually responds quickly when helped early. If it’s something that has been there for months or years, it takes a more strategic and patient approach to unwind the layers of adaptation the body has built over time. And when the system is deeply exhausted, recovery means rebuilding from the inside out — step by step.
There are no quick fixes, but with time, consistency, and the right guidance, your body knows exactly how to find its way back to balance. My role is to help it remember how.
1. Acute or sub-acute conditions
These are recent issues such as a fresh ankle sprain, a whiplash from a car accident, or a sudden back strain.
When the body is treated soon after the event — before deeper compensations set in — recovery is usually much faster, often within 1 to 3 sessions.
In this early stage, the body is mainly reacting to the trauma and inflammation; tissues are still adapting, and the system hasn’t yet reorganized into chronic patterns.
Timely osteopathic care helps the body restore balance naturally and prevents the injury from becoming a long-term problem.
2. Chronic or long-standing conditions
These occur when an old injury, like that same ankle sprain or whiplash, has been left untreated for months or even years.
Over time, the body adapts by creating compensations that affect posture, movement, and even internal functions — often turning one problem into several.
In these cases, treatment must be strategic, gradual, and multidimensional, addressing not only the original injury but also the secondary imbalances that have developed.
Typically, the first 1–3 sessions are scheduled weekly to start reorganizing the system.
Once the main restrictions are released, sessions can be spaced out — every two weeks, then once per month, and later every 3–6 months for maintenance and prevention.
Chronic conditions are not always trauma-related; they can also result from repetitive postures or motions — like sitting for hours, playing a musical instrument, or practicing certain sports — where the same structures are constantly overused.
3. Systemic Exhaustion and Chronic Disregulation
In this scenario, the entire system is depleted and out of balance. You may experience crippling fatigue, persistent pain, mood swings, poor sleep, digestive changes, anxiety, or low libido.
Here, both the body and the nervous system are running on empty — a state defined by Compression, Depression, and Body Armour: layers of physical and emotional tension that lock the body into survival mode and drain its vitality.
Because this condition affects multiple levels — structural, biochemical, and emotional — recovery requires patience and consistency.
Sessions are usually once a week for 5–6 weeks, followed by progressively wider spacing as your energy and regulation improve.
For this type, osteopathy is often combined with other supportive therapies to restore balance across different systems of the body.
