With its origin in the late 1800s in America, osteopathy was founded by A.T. Still. Despite the limited context at “birth”, osteopathy has travelled through times and countries, carrying away new views and ideas.
If you never had a chance to experience an osteopathic treatment, it is often described as a holistic manual therapy which relies on anatomy, physiology and the self-healing mechanism of the body. And in order to do so, its main tool of diagnosis and treatment is motion or movement of the structures of the body. In other words: is the scaffolding of your body balanced?
Most of us have been exposed to physical or emotional trauma at some stage. The body may have been able to absorb their effects but a lasting strain often remains. Gradually the body may find it more and more difficult to cope with accumulated stresses and symptoms may start to shows. This is when osteopathy takes place.
It can benefit a wide range of conditions in all ages such as:
Back/neck pain, headaches/migraines, occupational overuse syndrome, menstrual problems, infertility, digestive disorders, sinus congestion, asthma, physical trauma and shock, sciatica, joint pain, to support pregnancy, babies with colic…
Most of the times, patients have experienced osteopathic treatment following a trauma. However as it relies on natural laws, it can be applied as preventative as well. Recently one of my patients brought her daughter to me, and upon their arrival she said to my receptionist: “I am here for her M.O.T.” And this is the way I would like to describe my osteopathy.
There is no limit to its field of action (preventative, pre-disease and disease states), and it can be applied to anyone, through gentle manipulations, for the purpose to work toward health.
And for those who are seeking to improve their body awareness, in order to understand themselves better, I will be glad to work with you.
