| Osteopathic medicine uses the spine to diagnose and treat a wide variety of complaints, specifically tailored to each individual, assessing the main areas of musculoskeletal strain and also which organs of the body are functioning optimally and which may have altered function. Although the spine is the main focus of treatment for osteopaths all the joints and soft tissues in the body can be assessed and treated with the principle that structure and function are interrelated. By restoring mobility to the spine and extremities by removing restrictions and working on the soft tissues and joints, the spinal nerves that supply the muscles and organs can be stimulated or relaxed and blood circulation and drainage can be improved to allow the whole body to work more efficiently. Treatment involves rhythmic joint movements, with gentle stretching and soft tissue manipulations and cranial osteopathy can also be applied with the intention of rebalancing the whole bodyresulting in improved musculoskeletal health as well as internal organ and immune functioning. Osteopathy can help people of any age from babies suffering colic and restlessness from birth trauma, especially if in our working life long hours are spent at the desk or driving. Pregnancy aches and pains and also strains produced during labour can be eased. Arthritic pain in the elderly is regularly alleviated and treated by osteopaths. It may even be prudent to have a yearly spinal checkup. Bowen Technique is also suitable for all ages from babies to the elderly. Gentle precise rolling moves are applied over specific areas of the body. This allows the patient to relax whilst the body restores its structural integrity. Frequent pauses between moves allows the patient's body the time to respond and benefit from each series of moves. Bowen has helped many problems, some of which are: muscle pains and spasms in the back neck pain, whiplash, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and R.S.I.. Bowen technique can also help recovery of energy, promote healing, relieve pain and enhance sports performance. Holisitc Massage also has many benefits. This is one of the oldest and most natural healing arts and the refined touch and varying strokes of the practitioner help to soothe, tone and stimulate repair and regenreate the body tissues and organs. Treatment aids relaxation and helps to relieve stress and tension, whilst easing muscle stiffness and improves joint flexibility and mobility by increasing blood and lymphatic flow. Holistic Massage will aid the recovery of the body after injury and reduces the formation of excess scar tissue and improve elasticity and tone. Tension related headaches will usually respond to this form of treatment with many pain clinics referring patients suffering headaches for massage. Visceral massage during the session will help to aid digestion and improves elimination of waste, it has also been shown to help reduce high blood pressure. Overall massage reduces anxiety and helps to release blocked emotions and may help to elevate mood. |
