Frequently Asked Questions:

What are Articulatory Techniques?

Articulatory Techniques (AT) are a form of Structural Osteopathy. They are low to moderate amplitude and low velocity osteopathic techniques where the joint is carried through its full range of motion using repetitive concentric movements by the practitioner. The goal of this manipulation is to use a passive, direct force to release pathologic or restrictive barriers of a joint and free all ranges of motion.

By using AT to harmoniously emphasize the natural motion of the target area, you can restore physiological freedom without putting stress on the surrounding structures. By reducing nociceptive signals, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and promoting mechanotransduction processes, articulatory osteopathic manipulation can relieve somatic dysfunction and fascial tension to assist in tissue repair and recovery of the body and its biomechanics.
