Summary

  • Hi, I’m Dr. Ryan Christensen, a board-certified osteopathic physician and founder of Still Waters Osteopathy — a boutique healing space in Lake Orion, Michigan. We specialize in hands-on osteopathic medicine: a gentle, precise way of treating the whole person through skilled touch. Many of our seekers come to us after years of complex symptoms, trauma, or feeling dismissed by the system. What we offer is time, presence, and deep listening — through the hands and the heart. Whether it’s for a newborn, someone with chronic fatigue, or a high performer seeking balance, we help people reconnect with their body’s own healing intelligence. We don’t treat symptoms — we treat people. And we aim to graduate you, not keep you coming back forever.

    I am a dual residency trained family and emergency physician practicing traditional Osteopathy, osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), clinical hypnosis, auricular and electroacupuncture, and cranial manipulation (craniosacral, cranial osteopathy, OCF, or OCMM Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine)
