In Situ Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy based on philosophy and principles that allow practitioners to use a method of diagnosis and treatment through using their hands. We take into consideration the health and vitality of the whole person using the premiss that no body part, or system of the body, works in isolation.
The practice of osteopathy is based on four fundamental principles that guide osteopathic reasoning and diagnosis towards a natural health-oriented, patient-centred approach to healthcare. These principles are:
The human being functions as a whole; nothing works in isolation
The body has its own inherent self-regulatory mechanisms to self-heal.
The structure and function (anatomy and physiology) of the body are interconnected and interrelated on every level
The treatment of the patient is based on the above three principles.
As an Osteopath, we are focused on maintaining homeostasis of all systems, promoting normal circulation of blood and lymph throughout the body. This funnels nutrition to all bodily tissues and enables the drainage of metabolic waste from those same tissues. Collectively, this maintains a healthy, functioning nervous system.
The core of Osteopathy is the recognition of the bodys innate ability to heal itself when blockages are removed.

Cranial Osteopathy is a whole body experience assisting with improving circulation of cerebral spinal fluid, arterial and venous flow and lymph. Reducing stagnation and improving health.
Some people prefer this treatment above any other due to its subtle and gentle approach.
Hands are typically placed around the cranium (head) and sacrum (the triangular bone connecting left and right hip bones of the pelvis). A very subtle yet effective treatment to enable ease balance and healing in the whole body identifying strain and stress patterns manifesting as tension, pain or discomfort. Cranial Osteopathy is very effective for:
- Everyone!
- People who have a lot of pain and may have difficulty being touched or moved and need extra care and compassion
- If you have had any kind of trauma or abuse of any kind whether emotional, verbal, physical or sexually related.
- Exhaustion/burn out, extreme tiredness and fatigue. Even if you suffer from depression.
- Surgery, recent or old, injuries, broken bones or accidents causing concussion or reduced range of movement.
- Any symptoms that reduce your quality of life.
