Osteopathy can have a positive impact on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls the body’s automatic functions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
1.- Reduce stress (Sympathetic nervous system): Osteopathic techniques can calm sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the “fight or flight” response. This can lower stress levels, decrease heart rate, and improve sleeping.
2.- Boosts Relaxation (parasympathetic nervous system): Osteopathy also activates the parasympathetic nervous system which controls the “rest and digest” response.
This helps the body relax, improves digestion, and enhances the healing.
By working on the spine and muscles, osteopathy helps balance the two systems, leading to better overall function and well-being. This techniques support the body’s natural ability to self-regulate.
