Quantum Osteopathy is a private rehabilitative non-physician manual osteopathic clinical practice based in Aptos, California. A devoted practitioner of Osteopathic Therapy since 1995, Alexandra Kaufman has worked with both adults and children in Northern California and New Mexico. She has been applying some of those same osteopathic techniques on animals since 2004. She is dedicated to the recovery and revitalization of health and well-being of her patients from injuries and other physical traumas.
Alexandra employs a leading-edge system of gentle, yet firm and present, hands-on-healing technology that is based in Traditional Osteopathic Manual Therapy as taught at the Canadian College of Osteopathy and in other related Osteopathic studies. Alexandra is not a licensed physician or D.O., and this practice of manual therapy is not meant to serve as an alternative to appropriate conventional medical treatment. Instead it is complementary to it.
In science, quantum physics explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic levels. While Quantum Osteopathy addresses macro levels of treatment (skillfully and gently restoring bone position or releasing and fortifying muscles), unlike other manual therapies, it also addresses highly important and usually overlooked micro levels of treatment in the tissues (fluids, vessels and inherent rhythmic patterns). Thus, the name Quantum Osteopathy applies to this complementary advanced healing clinic. The thousands of inherent subtle movement patterns detectable within the body by Alexandra’s highly skilled hands are at very precise levels and take years to sense, understand and engage to affect restoration of optimal health. Working with keen perceptions, sensibilities and an experienced skillset, she can ‘tune into’, ‘dialogue with’, and address in real-time living tissue structure and intelligence of the whole body. This process harnesses healing from within to create lasting physical changes on both local and systemic levels.
Quantum Osteopathy draws on an Osteopathic lineage of hands-on natural medicine dating back 150 years (to the founder A.T. Still) to address pain, dysfunction and dis-ease. Alexandra employs skeletal, visceral (organ), myofascial (tissue) and cranial work and many other methods aiming to uncover the root of her patients’ dis-ease, immobility and/or pain. Her work is gentle, yet deep, and all encompassing.
Alexandra Kaufman has created her own trademarked, gentle, non-invasive approach to promote the body’s natural healing abilities called the Holographic Motility Balancing™ (HMB)*. The swift results of HMB frequently surprise patients because of the quality of touch she uses in her clinical bodywork. Many patients report relief from their acute symptoms within their first few sessions (use this link to read patient testimonials). With subtle movements, Alexandra is able to harness the self-corrective rhythms of the body. Her therapies enhance and facilitate the body’s natural healing processes and intelligence. HMB relies on a life-giving, positive view of the bodies intelligent design.
Many people are choosing to receive therapeutic manual touch as an alternative to receiving prescription drugs and/or surgery for recovery from physical and emotional trauma, from birth through adulthood. Quantum Osteopathy’s goal as a complementary healing practice is to fully address your health concerns by restoring function and mobility, eliminating pain and preventing disability while discovering increased body awareness and an increased quality of life.
