Osteopathy in Port Moody
Manual osteopathy at Optimum Family Chiropractic offers a gentle, hands-on approach to healing that focuses on releasing muscle tension and improving joint mobility. Our skilled manual osteopath, Mahnaz Zoghi, combines traditional techniques with modern expertise to help you achieve optimal wellness and function. For over eight years, she has been successfully helping her patients with manual osteopathy.
Soft Tissue Therapy and Tailored Care Plans
Manual osteopathy complements chiropractic care by targeting muscle and ligament imbalances that affect joint mobility. Through specialized soft tissue techniques, it helps identify compensation patterns that develop over years of strain or following an injury. By addressing these underlying issues, manual osteopathy supports proper biomechanics, reducing tension and improving movement efficiency.
The process begins with a thorough review of your health history and current concerns. Mahnaz develops a customized care plan that may include muscle mobilization, active stretching, and range of motion exercises. Many patients experience improvement after their first session, with benefits continuing to build through ongoing care.
Advanced Techniques for Complex Conditions
We offer an array of approaches, including cranial sacral therapy, which is particularly effective for headaches, TMJ issues, jaw problems, stress and anxiety, and sleep difficulties. Additional techniques, such as soft tissue therapy, muscle energy therapy, Active Release Therapy (ART), visceral therapy, and special mobilization tools are used.
These methods can help enhance circulation, which supports the body’s natural detoxification process, while also improving muscle function and joint mobility for various conditions like:
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Hip, knee, and ankle concerns
- Sports-related injuries
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle tension and stiffness
- TMJ disorders
- Pregnancy-related discomfort
- Chronic pain conditions
- Postural issues
Benefits Beyond Pain Relief and Support for Your Lifestyle
Manual osteopathy provides both immediate and long-term advantages. While many patients experience quick pain relief and improved mobility, regular sessions help maintain these gains and prevent future issues. Our manual osteopath also provides practical lifestyle recommendations, including stretches, exercises, and posture awareness techniques to support your ongoing wellness.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance performance, an office worker dealing with postural strain, or someone seeking relief from chronic pain, our manual osteopathy services can help. We know each patient’s needs are unique, and we tailor our approach to support your specific lifestyle and wellness goals.
After your session, you may experience a period of acclimation as your body responds to the therapy, which is entirely normal and often indicates positive changes are taking place. Our team provides detailed guidance on post-session care, including specific exercises and stretches you can do at home to maximize your results.
