Tissues that move freely are tissues that function well &#8211; unimpeded flows of blood, lymph and nerve impulses allow balance (homeostasis) to be maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Any insult <span lang=\"en-US\">such as<\/span> physical trauma, inflammation, infection or surgery can cause <span lang=\"en-US\">loss of mobility and abnormal tension in previously healthy tissues. This can create both local and remote mechanical problems, as well as associated vascular and neurological changes. The end result is dysfunction and pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Osteopathy is a form of manual (hands-on) medicine based on the above principle of structure-function inter-relationship. It was developed in the late 19th century by Dr Andrew Taylor Still, an American Physician. Osteopathy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>focuses on restoring tissue mobility to enhance function and health<\/li>\n<li>looks at the whole body, and not just the area(s) where symptoms are felt \u2013 there are many possible interactions between the mechanics and function of different and sometimes distant parts of the body, and a global approach is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During a consultation, the aim of the <span lang=\"en-US\">o<\/span>steopath is to identify and address the key areas of tissue tension and restriction in a patient. These are the tensions\/restrictions most destabilising to the body and causing the most extensive compensations at other locations. For diagnosis, the <span lang=\"en-US\">o<\/span>steopath uses a combination of palpation and motion testing, as well as physical, neurological and orthopaedic examination as required. Because <span lang=\"en-US\">major<\/span> tensions are often hidden deep in the body cavities, the <span lang=\"en-US\">o<\/span>steopath needs to look beyond the musculoskeletal \u2018shell\u2019 of the body and address the body in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>Using his\/her hands only, the <span lang=\"en-US\">o<\/span>steopath applies precise forces to gently mobilise tissues and alleviate the identified tensions\/restrictions. Depending on the specific needs of the patient, techniques such as joint mobilisation, visceral manipulation, fascial release, muscle stretching, or neural manipulation may be used.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;101px&#8221; large_laptop=&#8221;101px&#8221; laptop=&#8221;75px&#8221; tablet_landscape=&#8221;60px&#8221; tablet_portrait=&#8221;60px&#8221; phone_landscape=&#8221;60px&#8221; phone_portrait=&#8221;60px&#8221;]<div class=\"mkdf-section-title-holder\">\n\t<h2 class=\"mkdf-section-title mkdf-section-title-small\" style=\"color: #e3682e;text-align: center\">\n\tMore about visceral manipulation (VM)<\/h2>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<span lang=\"en-US\">As we said above, <\/span>tissues in our body need to be mobile<span lang=\"en-US\"> to function well<\/span>. This applies to our joints, but importantly also to our organs and their supporting structures (fascial attachments, nerves and blood vessels). Postural strains, physical traumas and chronic inflammation, for example, can all <span lang=\"en-US\">compromise<\/span> the mobility of these tissues.<\/p>\n<p>Abnormal tensions or motion restrictions affecting organs may:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>significantly impact body mechanics, with postural and motion compensations developing as the body tries to minimize tensions and prevent any position or movement that would exacerbate them<\/li>\n<li>alter organs function (physiology) by<span lang=\"en-US\">, for example,<\/span> interfering with blood flow, lymphatic flow and nerve function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>VM involves gentle and precise mobilisation of organs and their supporting structures, aiming to <span lang=\"en-US\">normalise<\/span> tensions. It makes use of very low forces and high specificity, making treatments pain-free and well suited for all ages. VM shouldn\u2019t be viewed as a separate treatment modality, but rather as <span lang=\"en-US\">one of the core<\/span> element<span lang=\"en-US\">s<\/span> of an integrative manual therapeutical approach to address dysfunction and pain in the body.<\/p>\n<p>VM was largely developed by <span lang=\"en-US\">world-<\/span>renowned French <span lang=\"en-US\">o<\/span>steopath Jean-Pierre Barral, who still teaches his innovative work all around the world today.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1674653417500{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 75px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-left-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-left-style: none !important;border-right-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-right-style: none !important;border-top-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-top-style: none !important;border-bottom-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-bottom-style: none !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"mkdf-tabs mkdf-vertical mkdf-tab-text clearfix\">\n\t<ul class=\"mkdf-tabs-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#tab-acute-and-chronic-pains\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAcute and chronic pains\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#tab-common-functional-disorders\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCommon functional disorders\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#tab-recovery-from-trauma\">\n\t\t\t\t\tRecovery from trauma\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#tab-prevention\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPrevention\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<div class=\"mkdf-tab-container mkdf-tab-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/resilience-osteo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/back-pain-icon.jpg)\" id=\"tab-acute-and-chronic-pains\" data-icon-pack=\"font_awesome\" data-icon-html=\"&lt;i class=&quot;mkdf-icon-font-awesome fa  &quot; &gt;&lt;\/i&gt;\">\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;]<div class=\"mkdf-section-title-holder\">\n\t<h2 class=\"mkdf-section-title mkdf-section-title-medium\" style=\"text-align: left\">\n\tAcute and chronic pains<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"mkdf-section-subtitle-holder mkdf-section-subtitle-left\" >\n\t<p style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"mkdf-section-subtitle\">Osteopathy allows to free the tensions often found at the origin of painful mechanical problems.

This is what resilience is all about! For someone in good health, prevention may involve a treatment every 6 months or so. In a period of high stress (either physical or emotional), a treatment every month or 2 may be more suitable.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221;]<\/div>\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;page-title&#8221;][vc_column_text]There is an intimate relationship between structure (mechanics) and function (physiology) in the body.
