Osteo?? That’s bone right 🦴?

So far this is the most common thing I’ve heard when speaking to someone who is foreign to Osteopathy..

However the practice of Osteopathy is centred around improving pain and dysfunction with all of the body’s systems in mind.

Put simply, this means if you’re suffering from a musculoskeletal injury, such as shoulder or hip pain, then your Osteo will assess the health of your digestive system, cardiovascular and so on to understand how your entire health is contributing to your pain.

It may seem hard to see how these systems play a role in an injury at the wrist or elbow for instance, however it’s about the complete picture..

How does this effect your ability to recover? What does that mean for you returning to work and how will that impact your mental health? If you’re unable to work and your mental health is at risk, could this be a small injury that eventuates to long standing chronic pain..

Going beyond simply assessing the site of injury and giving out an exercise program, mitigates the risk of long term complications and individualises management directly to you the patient!!

Plain and simple, there is no cookie cutter s**t happening 😤

There is always a method to the madness that is handstand training…

Our nervous system, as with most skilled movements, is the most influenced system in refining handstands and therefore we need to approach training with a certain level of intention to be successful…

Beyond the early moment of building the foundational strength and integrity within that muscles and ligament that support the wrist, elbows, shoulders and trunk, we move toward focusing on AWARENESS for BALANCE…

What are you fingers doing?
How is your body swaying?
How heavy is your kick up?
And so forth…

These qualitative understandings are registered via the nervous system and refine over time to allow you play within your handstand hold!

Move with intention…

It is okay to want to keep yourself healthy through other means other than moving weights or dialling it in on cardio machines…

We all must develop our own finger print…
