ABOUT

 

Our philosophy is “Find it. Fix it. And leave it alone.” In the famous words of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still the founding father of osteopathic manual medicine. We work together to find and treat the source of your symptoms and pain, assisting your body do what it’s designed to do: Heal.

We each bring our own unique perspectives and offer our years of education and expertise to facilitate the treatment of a broad spectrum of conditions. We believe that health starts and ends with you. We encourage every individual to take control and responsibility for their own health care, their own choices and we believe in being proactive rather than merely reactive. Making osteopathy and massage therapy a consistent and intentional choice will move you towards optimal health both physically and mentally. We will come alongside you as your team, committed to helping you get there, as long as you remain committed to yourself. We are all invested in seeing you succeed!

““I don't view you as one or two problems that need to be fixed; You are a whole person, and your physical and mental body operates as a whole. That’s how I approach treatment.””

-Nacho Diaz

About Osteopathy

Osteopathy sets itself apart in its acutely accurate ability to assess and diagnose the root source/s of your pain and symptoms. With a deep understanding in anatomy and physiology, following a skilled assessment, the osteopathic therapist can find and follow the kinetic chain your body has created in its attempts to adapt and compensate for dysfunctions that have been present for oftentimes many years. We are not aware of these dysfunctions as its part of our incredible design that our bodies find brilliant ways of adapting. Its usually later in life that something changes: our routine, new activities, life changes, new accidents or injuries etc. that symptoms begin to reveal themselves as our bodies can no longer adapt as well as it used to. A shoulder irritation that develops after years of baseball (when looked at by itself) will come back with the result of ‘tendonitis or impingement syndrome’ and treated as an isolated issue. Through the lens of osteopathy the question is “why now, after all these years playing, is this shoulder suddenly unable to perform a task its so well adapted to?” Through the osteopathic assessment what you will get is called ‘differential diagnosis’. This is so valuable because, while this shoulder has certainly developed a tendonitis or impingement, identifying and treating the underlying predecessors causing the shoulder irritation results not only in symptom and mobility recovery but also in a more effective, long term fix.

There is much more we could say about Osteopathic Therapy and what it can do for you. But our best recommendation is to simply come and see what it can do for you. You’ll be in the very best of hands!

“Our practices compliment one another so well. Osteopathy is what I call “the mechanic”. It’s where I send my patients when they need a deeper problem solved.”

Our goal at Diaz Osteopathy & Massage is maintenance and proactive treatment. We don't view you as one or two problems that need to be fixed; You are a whole person, and your physical and mental body operates as a whole. When your symptoms are alleviated the next steps are geared towards secondary issues and then regular follow up care to address the tensions and stresses occurring on a day to day basis, both in work and life. When you become a proactive client, we can address these minor issues before they inevitably turn into larger, more noticeable ones.
