Training
The general approach that I use is that the intelligence of the body is far greater than our collective consciousness. Therefore I am a student of the body, and my job is to mirror the pathophysiological mechanisms, to provide insight and to show how much pain & mobility is possible, in other words what can be attained. Then it is up to the patient to apply this learned mobility/ pain barrier, etc. And start working with it, in order to activate the self healing mechanism of the body.
This self healing mechanism is of course in younger people, with a lot of stem cells, an easier road than it is in the elderly. There the respons will take longer and is maybe even harder. When this self healing mechanism fails (not enough stem cells, etc.) we transfer the patient towards regular medical care because the body cannot heal itself and needs support through pills and knifes. This is why an osteopath is trained to recognize the red flags.
The compensatory mechanism for lack of mobility, pain, tiredness, etc., can also be found in the psychosocial domain. The way to handle and live with a reduced mobility, or a certain level of discomfort can be increased. That is why in chronic pain approaches there is always an additional psycho education.
My goal: It has been my mission in life to helping people find their inner strength or health so that they can grow and become the person they were meant to be. To help them soften what has hardened inside.
This is why I am committed to lifelong learning.
