I have been living on the Sunshine Coast for 5 years after having lived in London for the prior 8 years. I was trained in the London and returned to Australia after having 2 little kids over there. Osteopathy is a broad field but the basic philosophy is the idea that the body moves as a whole and you can not affect 1 part without having an impact on another. This is a very important concept as it makes sure we are always looking for the cause of the problem not just addressing the symptomatic area. This helps the patient get back on track quicker. Osteopathy looks at the whole picture addressing the relationship between the mind and the body. To this end we consider psychological factors, stress recognition and management, diet, exercise, posture and other aspects of daily life that contribute to the health of the body as a whole. There are many different techniques we use to treat – however they all involve the release of stress and tension throughout the body to improve the movement of the bones and muscles in unison. All the techniques are aimed to assist the natural ability of the body to heal itself. Another aspect to Osteopathy that I am very passionate about is in the treatment of asthmatics. Quite a few people have heard of the Buteyko Breathing Technique which is a very effective way for asthmatics to control their symptoms of asthma and significantly improve their quality of life.
