Digestive & Urogenital

”We know so little; only the tissues know. We can think as therapists we know what to do to help a patient, but it is only when we put our hands on the person, that the tissues then show us what is needed.” – Jean Pierre Barral

L

Releasing tension in the abdomen

Osteopathic practitioners may  release tension in the muscles and connective tissue of the abdomen. This can help to improve blood flow and nerve function in the digestive organs, which may improve their function

  • LImproving spinal alignment.
  • LImproving circulation and visceral restrictions .Visceral restrictions refer to limitations in the mobility of the organs within the abdomen. These restrictions can be caused by scar tissue, adhesions, or tension in the connective tissue surrounding the organs
  • LReducing inflammation
  • LDiet and lifestyle recommendations

Overall, osteopathy can be an effective approach to treating bloating by addressing the underlying causes of the condition and promoting healthy digestion.

  • LSoft tissue mobilization
  • LVisceral manipulation

  • LLifestyle recommendations

Stomach Pain

When it comes to stomach pain, osteopathy can be beneficial in several ways. Here are a few examples:

  • LImproving Digestion: Osteopathy can help improve digestion by addressing any underlying structural imbalances in the body. This can include releasing tension in the abdominal muscles, improving blood flow to the digestive organs, and restoring proper alignment of the spine and pelvis.
  • LReducing Inflammation: Osteopathic techniques such as lymphatic drainage and myofascial release can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, which can alleviate pain and discomfort.
  • LManaging Stress: Stress can be a major contributor to digestive issues, and osteopathy can help manage stress levels by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the body.
  • LAddressing Underlying Conditions: such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, or gastritis.

Overall, osteopathy can be a safe and effective approach to treating stomach pain. However, it’s important to work with a qualified osteopathic practitioner who can assess your individual needs and develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

Painful Periods

During a painful period, the uterus may contract more strongly than usual, which can lead to discomfort and pain. 

Osteopathy can help to alleviate this pain by addressing any tension or restrictions in the muscles and tissues around the pelvis and abdomen. An osteopath may use gentle techniques to release tension in the muscles and improve blood flow to the uterus, which can help to reduce pain and discomfort during periods.

In addition to manual therapy, osteopathy may also involve advice on lifestyle changes and exercises to help reduce pain and improve overall health. This may include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and exercises to improve posture and strengthen the muscles in the pelvic area.

Osteopathy can be a helpful complementary therapy for individuals experiencing painful periods. It is important to consult with a qualified osteopath to determine if osteopathy is a suitable treatment option for your individual needs.
