🌿 What is Osteopathy? 🌿

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the body as a whole. By using hands-on techniques, osteopaths address musculoskeletal pain, improve mobility, and support overall well-being. 💆‍♀️✨

Whether it's back pain, sports injuries, or posture issues, osteopathy helps restore balance, so you can feel your best! 🌱

Osteopathic care is a cumulative process 📈

What does this mean? 🤔

Each treatment builds on the last one! 🪴

We have a goal to create small changes in the body, slowly over time ⏳

This approach keeps the body in a stable environment that can allow the body to accept the changes that are being made 😄

The body will be more likely to hold on to these positive changes long-term 👍

The goal is to build on health and positively affect the body’s function of the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems 🫀

Consistency with treatment is key! 🗝

Pelvic Tilt:

Most commonly we see an anterior (forward) pelvic tilt or a posterior (backward) pelvic tilt ➡️⬅️
This can be creased through muscular imbalances and can result in low back pain💥
This can be created from posture, inactivity, sitting for long periods of time 🪑

Anterior Pelvic Tilt:
* This is when the top of the pelvis tilts forwards and the bottom of the pelvis tilts backwards and up
* Seen with a pattern of exaggerated extension through the lumbar spine (low back)
* Shortening (contraction) of the hip flexors/quad muscles and the quadratus lumborum (low back muscle)
* Lengthening (on tension) of the hamstrings and abdominals

Posterior Pelvic Tilt:
* This is when the top of the pelvic tilts backwards and the bottom of the pelvis tilts forwards
* Seen with a pattern of exaggerated flexion through the lumbar spine (low back)
* Shortening (contraction) of the hamstrings and abdominals
* Lengthening (on tension) of the hip flexors and quadratus lumborum (low back muscle)

By encouraging motion of the pelvis in all directions we can help to correct muscular imbalance and enourage better fluid dynamics as a whole 🌊

The Pelvis:

The pelvis is the largest bony structure in the body, having the most mechanical influence over the rest of our structures 😄

This is why in an osteopathic treatment, we consider the pelvis our base and why we always start our treatments here ✅

Think of it like the foundation of a house - if your foundation isn’t level then you can’t properly build on top it 🏠🏚

The pelvis is made up of
- 2 hip bones (ilium, ischium and p***s), the sacrum and the coccyx
- 4 joints with ligaments that cross these joints and help stabilize the pelvis
- muscles that have attachments from the pelvis and connect it to the lower legs, low back and lower part of the rib cage
- a network of arteries, veins and lymphatics to supply and drain the lower limbs and pelvis
- organs such as parts of the digestive tract and the reproductive system
