"…the knowledge of the structure, relation and function of each part of the human body applied to the correction of whatever interferes with its harmonious operation."

The Manual Therapists at Truestar health apply advanced philosophies and techniques whose aim is to restore function to the body by addressing the causes of pain, disease and dysfunction. They rely on their finely trained palpation and work with the position, mobility and quality of the body’s tissues to encourage optimum health.

The use of osteopathic and other advanced philosophies and techniques helps to identify, and then gently treat restrictions or constrictions that interfere with the body’s operation, so that it can function normally again.

These philosophies maintain that:

1. Each structure in the body supports the body’s functions. If a structure is damaged, out of place or restricted, the body will not function at its best.
2. Natural flow—lymphatic, vascular and neurological—must be preserved and maintained.
3. The human body is the sum of its parts: its physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive systems don’t work independently — they work in harmony.
4. When the body is free of restrictions, it expresses the inherent ability to heal itself.
5. By using these principles in treatment, optimum health can be maintained an/or restored.
