Your body is a complex and highly integrated organism...  Imbalances and the development of compensatory patterns in one area can adversely affect other areas.


Spine  &  Trunk  Pain  &  Conditions
(Vertebral  Column,  Rib,  Abdominal  &  Pelvic  Areas)


This area represents the 'Core' of who we are functionally and physiologically.  It influences and defines our life and the potentials of our various life centers.


Our Central Nervous System
emerging from the Vertebral Column...

Our Circulatory System
involving our Heart, and Blood & Lymphatic structures...

Our Respiratory System
involving our Lungs, Heart, Chest & Abdomen...

Our Digestive System
involving our Throat, Esophagus, Stomach & Intestines...

Our other Organs & Glands
which help regulate and maintain
our ability to be healthy and to properly function

...and some also believe
that these areas represent who we are
psychologically, emotionally and spiritually...







Distorted structural integration of our body can affect how well we function mentally and physically.  Distortions and imbalances can also affect how well the various parts of our body function together... our nerves, blood vessels, organs, glands, and so on...







To be most effective, the body needs to be treated as a whole.  Conditions and pain are a result of tissue quality that is both outside (arms, shoulders, ribs, spine...) as well as deeper within our rib cage and abdomen (our organs).  They need attention as well.  In that way, we may more fully follow and understand the body's logic regarding conditions such as digestive disorder, abdominal pain, back pain, scoliosis, frozen shoulder, and so on.

'Soft tissues' include everything other than 'Bones'.  Depending on the type and location of 'soft tissues', they not only enable movement and hold us together...  they do this in a way that enables our various Structures, Organs & Glands to maintain flexibility for proper functioning... and for our continued Well Being.


Our  body  is  a  complex
and  highly  integrated  organism...
An  imbalance  and  problem  in  one  area
can  adversely  affect  another  area.

This is one of the Osteopatic Principles
that defines this practice.
