How we treat your condition.

Our Albany & Oakland non physician osteopaths use a range of methods to ease pain and help your body function optimally. Treatments differ per individual, but the techniques we use most often include:

  • A woman with dark skin, light brown hair, wearing a blue polka dot shirt and beige pants, sitting on a chair with folded arms, smiling and talking to a man with dark skin, blonde dreadlocks, wearing a white shirt and black shorts, sitting on a beige sofa, with a laptop on the wooden shelf in the background.

    Musculoskeletal Techniques

    Gentle methods such as Counterstrain, Muscle Energy Technique (MET), and Balanced Ligamentous Tension (BLT) to release tension, restore balance, and support natural healing without force.

  • Cranial Osteopathy

    Light, subtle work along the head and spine to help the nervous system regulate and support overall balance and well-being.

  • Soft Tissue Massage

    Targeted, gentle massage designed to release muscle tension, enhance circulation, and support the body’s natural healing. Particularly effective for tight, sore, or overworked muscles.

  • Joint Articulation

    Controlled, precise movements to improve joint flexibility, reduce stiffness, and restore natural range of motion safely and effectively, ideal for the neck, back, and hips.

How Osteopathy Works

Osteopathic Manual Therapy (Non-physician) is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy that treats various ailments and is an appropriate treatment for all ages.

Unlike other healing modalities, Non Physician osteopaths examine the entire body to find the underlying cause of an issue rather than treating the symptoms of pain or discomfort.

Using their hands, they can feel the body’s intricate and complicated systems and work to improve alignment, blood flow, and nerve supply to affected and injured areas, decreasing pain and dysfunction.

This blog invites you to shift from surface-level corrections to a more integrated understanding of posture, one that’s shaped by your nervous system and your lived experience. If you find yourself wondering “what is posture?” or “what is good posture?” and want to improve yours, you’ll find the information you need here. Read on.
