Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare recognising the important link between the structures of your body and the way it works. Osteopaths focus on how your skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves and circulation work together to improve your health & well-being. Treatment techniques practiced at Healthy Being Osteopathy:
A hands on technique which is aimed at releasing tension and adhesions in tight and tense shortened muscles.
Rhythmically moving body region (joints), helping improve blood flow, neural supply. In turn increasing movement and decreasing pain.
Focuses on facial tissue that surrounds muscles. It is a specialized form of treatment helping unwind and correct postural tension patterns. Fascia covers all organs and muscles of the body. Focusing on Releasing (muscular) Myofascial strains helps improve deeper neuro – vascular flows.
The biodynamic view of Osteopathy in the cranial field, is a gentle treatment which works with the bodies homeostatic forces (forces of growth and development). Aiming to balance fluid and membranous strains within the body. It is both a very effective and safe treatment, working via nerve receptors of the body altering membrane and fluid haemo dynamics, which enable natural internal disengagement, synchronization and transmutation with tissue (tissue fluids).
Specific localised joint mobilisation technically known as a High Velocity Low Amplitude technique, which helps regains the joint normal function, by re-setting neural, ligament and muscular strain patterns.
A technique used which works mainly via the ANS, it is used to calm an over stimulated neural pathway of spinal or peripheral joint receptors and intrinsic muscles
Dry Needling: A direct technique where needles are inserted into tender points in the muscle to stimulate an inflammatory response that promotes healing and reduces pain.
Cupping: A therapy in which a jar is attached to the surface of the skin to cause local congestion by removing air through heat or suction which can reduce muscle tension and pain in an area.
