Osteopathy
Courtney offers Osteopathic manual therapy to resolve chronic and acute pain. Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that is non-invasive and geared toward helping the body self-heal & self-regulate. It is a whole body approach that emphasizes the structural and functional integrity of the entire system. Manual osteopaths use a range of treatments, including working with the soft tissues of the body (fascia and muscles) as well as with the joints, ligaments and bones.
“I originally came to Courtney for the treatment of chronic pain in my shoulders and arms. I wanted to reduce or eliminate pain improve my range of motion in my shoulders. I keep coming back to Courtney because she doesn’t just treat the target area but instead treats my whole body from head to toe. I always feel so much better after the treatment. She is very professional and personable. She ask questions and provides valuable information.” ~ Kelly
