Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: Kirsten Balcom
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that is focused on assessment and treatment of the bones, joints, muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor. The main area of focus is on these muscles, however all related structures are assessed. Just like anywhere else in the body, muscles can become injured or have dysfunction.
Osteopathy David Braha
Restrictions of movement may lead to stress and strain in the tissues of the body that can create dysfunction and pain.
The key to successful treatment lies in the manual practitioner's ability to assess position, mobility, and vitality of all tissues to reduce stress and strain with movement.
Most hands-on techniques are gentle and are generally not painful.
Osteopathy is based on the following four principles:
Structure governs function. Essentially, stiff joints and tight muscles change the way the body moves changing the alignment of joints, causing the body to compensate. if not addressed, these changes over time may cause painful symptoms.
Good circulation is essential to healing. Tight muscles and fascia impede blood flow, which can also affect the nervous system resulting in painful symptoms.
The body has its own innate ability to heal.
The whole body is interrelated; i.e. restricted movement in the foot related to an old ankle sprain can eventually affect the knee, hip, back, and even the neck.
