Osteopathy in Beirut - by Emma Ghaziri A holistic treatment utilising a variety of different modalities to restore balance to the body/mind/spirit Who can benefit from Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an officially recognised primary health care profession which recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. It is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine. Its aim is to positively

affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. An Osteopaths aim is to not only alleviate the symptoms of your condition, but to look for the underlying cause. This will help to prevent your problem from re-occurring in the future. An Osteopath will use “palpation” as one of the tools for diagnosing the problem. This is a very adapted sense of touch that the practitioner has developed to identify any structural impediments to your health. The key tools for osteopathic diagnosis include listening to the patient's history, examining muscles and joints and observing movements. X-rays, scans and other clinical investigations are also used if required. Once the Osteopath has formed a diagnosis, a treatment plan will be made that is specific to you. A treatment plan will involve short term and long term goals. The short term aim is to alleviate the symptoms and work on the underlying cause of the problem by using a variety of techniques. Some of theses techniques are; soft tissue and deep tissue ‘massage’ techniques to muscles, ligaments and tendons; Mobilisation of joints, which involves rhythmic joint movements; High Velocity Low Amplitude techniques (when you hear that ‘click’). The long term treatment aim is to stop the condition from re-occurring. This is achieved by giving advice on factors that are maintaining your problem, such as your posture and diet and environmental factors. Osteopathy is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to the treament and management of a wide range of conditions. EVERYBODY!!
Whether you have neck pain, back pain, headaches, joint strains, just wanting to enhance your performance as an athlete or as a form of Prophylaxis
Osteopathic manipulation can help women through all stages of pregnancy and post partum recovery
Babies and children can benefit tremedously from osteopathic treatment ensuring optimal alignment and function during their developing years helping to prevent avoidable structural dysfunction at a later stage. How is Osteopathy regulated? In the UK, the General Osteopathic Council is charged with regulating Osteopathy. It is a criminal offence for someone to call themselves and Osteopath if they are not registered with the General Osteopathic Council. The GOsC regulates, promotes and develops the profession of osteopathy, maintaining a Statutory Register of those entitled to practise osteopathy. Only practitioners meeting the high standards of safety and competency are eligible to join this register. Proof of good health, good character and professional indemnity insurance cover is also a requirement. However in Lebanon there is no such regulatory body, which makes it a little difficult for patients. I can suggest that you do your research on Osteopathy on the internet and ask the practitioner where they qualified from and about their experience alongside positive recommendations and you should generally be safe. How long do Osteopaths train? Osteopaths will normally do a 4 or 5 year Honours degree course with 3 years clinical experience before they are allowed to go into private practice.

Change is upon us! There is a general collective ‘knowing’ that the world as we know it is SHIFTING! we feel it in every cell in our bodies.. this looks different for everyone in their respective environments (or Micro climates - stole this term from a friend as I think it’s brilliant - thank you, you know who you are! )
Part of mine looks like the picture above! This will be the new view for everyone who visits starting the 15th of December! Napoleon hasn’t arrived in the new treatment space yet, but as soon as he does he will be posting - don’t you worry! 🍀 so as the wind changes direction, root down deep and use the opportunity to broaden and strengthen..

The more that is going on around you, and in the world at large pressing upon us (and there is a lot going on, right?!), the more necessary it is for us to consciously self-regulate, so that we are not literally pulled apart by forces outside of ourselves.

Fortunately we have some very effective leverage-points for auto-regulating the state of our nervous system that are available to us 24/7. Breath, for instance, is a direct access whereby you can consciously interact with the unconscious autonomic processes of our habitual states. These states can easily and inadvertently become entrained to external forces rather than our highest intentions for ourselves. If you notice you are feeling "off," that is half the battle!

Before laying blame for that feeling on what someone else said or did, or on the larger and very real issues facing the world in any given moment, believe for an instant that in spite of all those that, you are capable of feeling better, and are more capacitated to deal with all those things, when you have directly addressed your own internal state of affairs. Then pay attention to your breath. Feel the way that at the "bottom" of your exhale, there is a quiet moment where nothing is going on at all.

That's a brief nourishing vacation from it all during which your nervous system can adjust. Then notice that with no effort at all on your part, your lungs suddenly begin to fill with no effort at all on your part as the air, that nourishing spirit, rushes in and reshapes you and moves you. Observe that flashing pause at the top of that free-fill-up when, like at the peak of a roller coaster, you are neither going up nor down, but just taking in the expansive view afforded from that place. Then feel the air rush from you, again without effort, a model for "letting go," freed from constraints internal or otherwise. This is not a "breath exercise" but rather a process of intentional self awareness in the space of the unconscious.

When we choose to walk between the worlds like that, even for just a few cycles of breath, we can shift our state.

When you feel safe and secure, your social engagement system is free to come online through the Ventral vagal system.

The negative ego is controlled by the subconscious mind which has been programmed by familial, societal and trans generational conditioning based on survival instincts that have worked for millennia.
By bringing to our awareness, these learned patterns that kick in when we allow our unconscious mind or autonomic nervous system to operate our vehicle, we can begin to shift the control.
By slowing down, practicing mindfulness, self love and we can behave more consciously, taking back control of our operating system, therefore reclaiming our personal power!
The power to create our own reality. The world is your oyster… create Joy, Peace, Happiness and Abundance and infect the world with a new Pandemic!!

Let that sink in! 🙏🏼💕

As we move through Autumn.. see if you can sense the energy or the season! The gentle slowing down getting ready for hibernation (rest and restore) after the busy spring and summer months. It’s time to allow your nervous system the opportunity to down regulate. Animals and all of nature abide by these cycles which is why they don’t suffer with stress related diseases.. choose a practice that can support you regulate your nervous system. Meditation, breathing, gentle walks in nature, mindful movement based practices such as Tai Chi, Hanna Somatics, Feldenkrais.. slow down and listen to what your body needs and meet those needs.. if you don’t service and put fuel in your car it will conk out on you!!

To be met exactly where you are in this moment…..Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually.
This is the ‘sweet spot’…
Imagine the ‘biting point’ when you are driving a manual car.. too much push on the gas pedal without releasing the break - floods the engine. Not enough push on the gas and releasing the break too fast - the engine switches off.
Just the right amount of gas and the slow, mindful release of the break sees the car moving forward smoothly until the break is completely released. Only then can you move into second gear.

I guess the message here is… with the right amount of support, love and compassion and understanding, you can feel safe enough to allow yourself slow down….
Reduce the volume of your external world and be receptive to your internal world (the engine) .. MINDFULNESS!
To have the space and time to really FEEL and LISTEN for that ‘sweet spot’
From this point it’s up to you to choose:

1)Continue to flood the engine..
2)Stifle the engine..

OR

3)Move forward… trust your body’s inherent intelligence to guide you into new experiences, enabling you to express your uncensored, authentic self!
FREEDOM to LOVE and to be loved .. unconditionally. 🕊

Have faith in your self, in your truth and your intuition. Stand strong by what feels right to you and ground it into the soil like roots of an ancient oak tree.. no matter what tornado or tsunami comes your way.. Know that those beautiful roots are being supported and nurtured by all of the rest of us oaks and together we will weather the storm and still be standing, strong and powerful, to usher in the new dawn of peace, happiness, safety, community and unconditional love. You are NOT alone. I love you 🤍💜
