OSTEOPATHY IN WATERDOWN


WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

Manual osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that aims to restore balance in the body
by using gentle touch to correct structural and postural imbalances. It involves
the use of non-invasive manual techniques that treat and strengthen the
musculoskeletal framework,including joints, muscles, myofascia, and nervous and
lymphatic systems.

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the whole person as a
complete unit. Osteopathic manual treatment aims to remove restrictions
throughout the body, thus reducing pain, improving mobility, and optimizing
function. Osteopathy incorporates a number of treatment methods and modalities,
including joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and muscle energy techniques.
By using these techniques, osteopathic treatment can stimulate the body’s
natural resources thereby facilitating further healing.

A fundamental component of osteopathy is that structure and function are
intimately related. When a body structure (or numerous structures) are out of
alignment — such as twisted hips or asymmetrical shoulders — restrictions can
occur in muscles and fascia, which in turn can compromise and inhibit how the
body functions.

Osteopathic treatment can be beneficial in addressing these structural issues,
helping to reduce musculoskeletal pain, correcting posture,increasing joint
mobility, and improving circulation, neural function, and digestive function.
With all health issues, an osteopathic manual practitioner seeks to treat the
underlying cause of the pain or condition rather than merely the symptoms,and
encourages the body to begin to heal and bring itself back into a state of
balance.


What To ExpectWho Can BenefitCraniosacral Therapy with OsteopathyVisceral
Osteopathy

Appointments can vary based on the length of the treatment time as well as the
complexity of the client’s health condition. All appointments are unique and
individualized to treat each client’s unique pain pattern; as no two people are
alike, neither is their pain.

Your first appointment is one hour in length which allows for an initial intake
and a visual and physical assessment, as well as manual therapy. The manual
therapy aims to address the dysfunctions identified in the assessment. The
client’s treatment plan also includes corrective exercises and stretches, which
are typically recommended at the completion of the appointment to be done at
home and are intended to enhance the effects of the in-clinic treatment.

Subsequent appointments, which are either 30 minutes or one hour in length, will
begin with a brief re-assessment of the condition(s) followed by an extensive
hands-on osteopathic manual treatment targeted to your concerns.

Osteopathy’s gentle, non-invasive approach means that just about anyone can
benefit from osteopathic care. Treatments are safe, relaxing, and effective and
clients often report a feeling of increased energy, better sleep and an overall
improvement in wellness.

People who develop repetitive strain injuries and chronic pain due to physical
labour, office work or athletic injuries commonly benefit from regular
osteopathic appointments. As well, individuals who experience functional health
issues such as digestive disorders and tinnitus may also experience relief from
treatments. Commonly treated conditions include, but are not limited to the
following:

 * Back and neck pain
 * Headaches
 * TMJ (Temporomandibular joint disorders)
 * Shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain
 * Hip, knee, and ankle pain
 * Plantar fasciitis
 * Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
 * Digestive issues (such as IBS)
 * Chronic pain and inflammation
 * Nerve impingement like sciatica
 * Overuse injuries
 * Decreased mobility
 * Postural imbalances

Craniosacral therapy (CST) can evaluate and enhance the functioning of the
craniosacral system — the structural aspect of the central nervous system —
consisting of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surround and
protect the brain and spinal cord. Through gentle, non-invasive hands-on
therapy, CST seeks to identify and release deeply held tension within the body
to promote the relief of dysfunction and pain, allowing for improvement of whole
body health and performance.

During a CST treatment, the osteopathic practitioner will use a soft touch and
tiny movements, sustained for many minutes, to release restrictions in the
fascial tissues, with focus typically placed at the skull, spine, and pelvis.
Removing these restrictions can allow for the CSF to return to its optimal
physiological flow.

The body is constantly compensating due to the stressors, both mental and
physical, that day-to-day life places upon it. These compensations force certain
body tissues to twist and tighten which can distort the craniosacral system.
These distortions can lead to restrictions and barriers within the craniosacral
system and may impede the flow of CSF, ultimately affecting the operation of the
central nervous system and potentially other systems it interacts with. In other
words, where symptoms are felt may be caused by dysfunctions elsewhere.

By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord, CST helps to
restore the body’s natural rhythm and self-healing abilities. It is thus often
used as a preventive health approach and can be particularly helpful for
managing pain and promoting relaxation. Additionally, CST may also help to
address numerous other issues, including but not limited to:


 * Chronic neck and back pain
 * Migraines and headaches
 * Tinnitus
 * Vertigo
 * Insomnia



 * Chronic fatigue
 * Temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders
 * Fascial adhesions
 * Stress and anxiety







HOW CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY HELPS

TMJ
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the joint which connects your lower jaw to
your skull, is surprisingly susceptible to dysfunction. In fact, TMJ disorders
are the second most prevalent musculoskeletal condition after chronic low back
pain. Dysfunctions of the TMJ can cause pain and discomfort around the joint
itself, difficulty or pain while chewing, aching in and around the ears, as well
as facial pain.



Research in patients with long-term TMJ disorders have found that osteopathic
treatment in combination with cranial osteopathy can be effective for improving
TMJ symptoms and also positively impact their quality of life. Both osteopathic
joint mobilization techniques as well as cranial osteopathy may be of great
benefit to help release the muscles surrounding the TMJ, allowing the joint to
restore its proper function.

Headaches and migraines
Many of my clients frequently seek care for chronic headaches, migraines, and
neck pain — and yes, pain in these areas can often be related. Tight muscles can
pull on the structures in the neck, leading to discomfort and headaches, which
are typically referred to as “tension headaches”.



Osteopathic treatment has been found to be helpful in alleviating these
symptoms.

For example, a study in more than 130 people who suffered from chronic
non-specific neck pain (CNP) concluded that osteopathic treatment can improve
the quality of life for those suffering from CNP. Additionally, asystematic
review on the effects of osteopathic manual therapy on patients who suffer from
headaches concluded that osteopathic treatment is beneficial for both headaches
and migraines and can reduce the number of episodes per month, lending to less
need for pharmaceutical interventions.

Tendonitis
Tendonitis, which is when a tendon becomes inflamed, may occur by overuse of
certain body structures through repetitive movements. This may include working
at a computer, physical labour or sports and exercise. The risk of developing
tendonitis increases if poor posture or form is used while doing these
movements. Although rest may temporarily reduce the symptoms, the source of the
problem has not been addressed and the symptoms are likely to reappear.



Osteopathic care seeks to identify the root cause of the tendonitis in an effort
to permanently reduce the symptoms.

During your initial assessment, a thorough visual and physical evaluation of
your posture as well as an in-depth discussion of your lifestyle habits will be
taken into account in order to understand what’s causing the tendonitis.

Based on the assessment, a comprehensive treatment plan will be implemented
suited to your specific needs. This may include manual therapy to reduce the
inflammation as well as targeted stretches or exercises to correct the issue
over the long term. As tendonitis is usually caused by the movements you do on a
regular basis, lifestyle modifications will also be recommended. A comprehensive
approach that takes all factors into account is key to reducing the inflammation
that contributes to tendonitis.



Visceral manipulation involves the gentle manipulation of the fascia and
ligaments surrounding pelvic and abdominal organs such as the liver,
gallbladder, and pancreas, and is thought to assist functional and structural
imbalances in the body, including musculoskeletal, nervous, vascular,
urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction.

A physical restriction to the viscera can result from physical trauma such as a
slip or fall, motor vehicle accident, or surgery, and may be caused by other
traumas such as pregnancy and delivery, gut infections, poor posture, and
emotional stress.

Visceral manipulation seeks to assess and treat the mobility and motility of a
client’s organs and determine whether it is a driving force behind their pain,
alignment, or mobility issues. As an adjunctive approach, it helps address
clients’ problems that seem to run deeper than their muscles and bones by
providing a link between somatic structures, like muscles and joints, visceral
organs, and the sympathetic nervoussystem.

Conditions benefited by visceral osteopathy:


 * Bloating and constipation
 * Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
 * Nausea and acid reflux
 * Peripheral joint and muscle pain



 * Pain related to post-operative scar tissue
 * Chronic pelvic pain
 * Many other conditions
