ABOUT
What Makes Our Care Different
At Diaz Osteopathy & Massage, we believe great care starts with a simple idea: “Find it. Fix it. Leave it alone.” In other words, we don’t just chase symptoms—we look for what’s really going on, help your body get back on track, and then step out of the way so it can do what it’s designed to do: heal.
“I struggled with chronic lower back pain for years and tried just about everything for relief. Nothing truly helped until I started seeing Nacho. Now I can finally go through my days pain-free. He’s made such a difference — I can’t recommend him enough!”
What makes us different is the way we work together. Our clinic is built on a team approach—osteopathy, massage, and support staff all working in sync to give you the best experience possible. On top of that, we’re also a teaching clinic. Ignacio (“Nacho”) Diaz, our founder, is an international osteopathy instructor with over 26 years of practice and more than 20 years teaching around the world. That means the care you receive here is rooted not only in experience, but also in the same principles we share with professionals who come to us for advanced training.
Think of us as your wellness partners, committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal health.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy delivers precise, effective care at the root of the problem.

“With a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, I look at how every part of your body works together. Careful testing and sound clinical reasoning help reveal the true source of your symptoms, so treatment can address the cause—not just the effects.”

Understanding Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach that looks at your body as a whole. Instead of just treating the pain you feel, we dig a little deeper to find what’s really causing it. Your body is amazing—it adapts and compensates for imbalances for years, which means symptoms often show up long after the root problem begins. Our job is to trace those patterns and address the source, not just the symptom.
For example, a shoulder issue might actually be linked to posture problems or an old injury you hardly notice anymore. By identifying and treating these root causes, we aim to give you more than short-term relief—we want to help you recover fully and build lasting resilience.
Osteopathy can help with a wide range of issues. Maybe you’re struggling with persistent back or neck pain that just won’t go away, or stiff joints and sore muscles that make daily life uncomfortable. Some people come to us for headaches or migraines that seem to have no clear cause, while others are dealing with digestive troubles or tension that builds up from stress.
No matter what brings you in, our focus is on finding the underlying cause and helping your body work the way it’s meant to—so you can move freely, feel lighter, and enjoy life without discomfort.

A Little More About Osteopathy…
Classical osteopathy, founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in the 1870s, is a hands-on, principle-driven approach that sees the body as a connected whole with an amazing capacity to heal itself. Practitioners assess tissue restrictions and movement patterns, now using modern tools like functional movement tests and neurological or orthopaedic evaluations to pinpoint issues more accurately. Treatment combines skilled manual adjustments, cranial and visceral techniques, and personalized guidance—exercises, posture tips, and lifestyle support—to restore balance and prevent future problems. Today’s osteopathy stays true to Still’s philosophy while blending modern insights for better, lasting results.
Core Philosophy & History
-
Founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in the late 1800s, classic osteopathy emphasizes the body's innate intelligence, structure-function unity, self-healing, and a principle-based approach—not formulaic techniques.
-
Whole-body unity
Self-regulation and self-healing
Structure governs function
Care based on these truths
-
A drug-free, hands-on method relying on touch to identify and correct dysfunctions—fluid dynamics and movement were central metaphors for health.
Diagnosis: From Hands to Function
-
Still taught practitioners to “listen with their hands”—palpating tissue texture, tension, asymmetry, and movement restrictions (known as STAR principles) to pinpoint “somatic dysfunction”.
-
Functional tests—joint range of motion, gait, posture assessments, ergonomic evaluations, and strength/balance screenings identify how your body actually performs.
Orthopaedic and neurological exams—used when there are symptoms like nerve pain, pins/needles, or postural imbalances.
Holistic review—medical history, lifestyle, and sometimes imaging or lab work are integrated to build a full picture.
This modern blend enables osteopaths to answer: Is there dysfunction? Where is it? What is causing it?

Coach clients on posture and environment adjustments
Provide tailored exercise programs to strengthen and maintain balance
Personalized Artistry
-
Classic osteopathy isn’t about rigid recipes—it’s a principle-based craft. Practitioners adapt their hands and care to fit each person, not a standard protocol .
-
With richer diagnostic tools, this artistry is informed by a more complete understanding of each individual’s functional movement, limiting the risk of treat‑and‑run care.
