Osteopathic medicine involves looking at the structure of the body and finding where disruptive patterns lay. The osteopath may use a variety of techniques, unique to each physician, to unravel the source of the restriction. Dr Hostalek utilizes cranial osteopathy, a gentle form of balancing the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that bathes our body and connects all parts to all the others. For example, when a person has a motor vehicle accident and gets " whiplash" the force of that trauma usually travels throughout the body and changes the fluidity of the tissues, resulting in torsions of the fascia; this is experienced as a tightening or pain.

Cranial osteopathy is used on the entire body, not just the head, to achieve balance of the fascia, and therefore the entire structure. It is a gentle, but powerful modality of treatment, especially suited to migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and motor vehicle accidents, and for post surgical trauma (at least 6 weeks post-op), and after childbirth.
