Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
Os·te·o·pa·thy helps patients of all ages optimize their health.
Osteopathy is a patient-centred discipline that is based on understanding the relationship between structure and function in order to enhance the body’s inherent ability to heal. It relies on skilled manual therapeutic techniques to assess and treat the patient, guiding the natural self-healing properties of the human body.
As a classically trained Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, Allison McAvoy works to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses, and circulation of the body fluids, which in turn assists the body in re-establishing health.
