Pelvic Health & Osteopathy:
Pelvic floor dysfunctions can affect men and women both, but we generally only hear of women with problems after pregnancy or later in life.
General symptoms:
incontinence (urinary tract or bowel)
painful intercourse
prolapse
back pain
pelvic pain
etc
Exercises to help strengthen the core, relax/strengthen the pelvic floor, learning to diaphragmatic breath properly along with other considerations which are specific to each individuals needs are all apart of trying to correct the above.
Changing our bodies structure and function through Osteopathic treatment sets you up for success, now you just need to do your part and continue healthy lifestyle habits and work on your core and pelvic floor strength!
Talk to me about any questions or concerns in your next appointment or by email before your next scheduled appointment. Some subjects can be embarrassing but don't let that hold you back. Your external strength should also be internal!

What is Classical Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a profession that makes extensive use of manual diagnosis and treatment guided by the principles set forth by it's founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, "On June 22, 1874, I flung to the breeze the banner of Osteopathy."
1) The body is a Unit
2) The body is self healing and self regulating
3) System and function are interriciply interrelated
4) Treat according to the above principles
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners are functional anatomists that find the health, rather than focus on disease. Osteopathic treatment works to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and the circulation of body fluids.
This allows nature to do it's job by removing lesions/obstacles in its way that may be interfering with allowing proper nutrition to get to the area in need, and to also allow drainage out.
~ Andrew Taylor Still
"Sickness is an effect caused by the stoppage of some supply of fluid or quality of life."
- Autobiography of A.T. Still
Osteopathy is based on the perfection of Nature's work. When all parts of the human body are in line we have health. When they are not the effect is disease."
