Osteopathy is a manual therapeutic practice developed by Andrew Taylor Still in the late 1800's. Dr Still was a physician and surgeon who developed this approach to healing over nearly 20 years of practice, opening the first osteopathic university in 1892 in Kirksville, Missouri. Originally named the American School of Osteopathy, it is now known as the AT Still University.

This approach consists of manipulating the musculoskeletal system in order to normalize neural and vascular expression which then facilitates healing. It involves gentle precise adjustments that can be tolerated by everyone from newborn infants to seniors and all those who struggle with chronic health conditions. It is grounded in the undeniable fact that the body's structural elements are reciprocally interrelated to its physiological processes. By restoring alignment in the skeletal system, the global fluid-based systems including the nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics experience free unobstructed motion of their inherent fluids. The resulting effects allow the body to heal itself with all the natural processes designed for that purpose. The operator simply improves joint alignment and strives to balance neural expression; the body does the rest over the course of the following days!

A few of the interesting cases Sarah has handled with HMT include torticollis in a 3 week old infant, latching/sucking disorder in another 3 week old infant, improving vocalization and verbal expression in an 8 year old deeply autistic child, restoring normal reading patterns in a 9 year old child diagnosed with dyslexia, and multiple disc issues, joint subluxation problems, migraines, PCOS and infertility. In fact, any physical ailment can experience significant improvements with regular HMT.
