Osteopathy as a profession started in united states in 1874 by Andrew Taylor Still. Osteopathy views human being as a whole, according to it’s 4 basic tenets :

1. The human being is a dynamic functional unit, whose state of health is influenced by the body, mind and the living context; 

 2. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms and is naturally selfhealing; 

3. Structure and function are interrelated at all levels of the human body

4. Rational treatment is based on these principles.

Osteopathic treatment can consist of many different techniques of physical manipulation.

Personally I’m interested in the working mainly with soft techniques, addressing stress, nervous system, viscera and fascia. Within the current state of the world it seems specially relevant to work with the nervous system and alleviate the symptoms of stress, like sleeping problems, headache’s, jaw and neck tension, digestive problems.

One part of physical function is how do we feel in ourselves. Most of the time we do not pay attention to these sensations, but when pain starts to trouble us, we usually do. In order to avoid pain or stress it is useful to pay attention how we do our everyday movements. And how we can alter our sensation and quality of those movements by using different images or language.

With somatic coaching we try to find different qualities and ways to do movements, in order to make load or stress in some part of our body less, or to get rid of the pain that we have when doing to movement. Of course it is important to first exclude possible reason for the pain that would need a medical attention. But often chronically pain does not have clear acute reasons for the pain, and then, by changing how do we move, can change our experience and sensation of the pain or uncomfortability.

The traditional healing massage of Thailand (commonly known as Thai massage) originated in India during the Buddha’s lifetime, allegedly, over 2500 years ago. This form of massage involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the trigger points, meridians or energy lines of the body.

Thai massage can last for up to two hours (whole body) and clients are advised to wear loose, comfortable clothes.

Thai massage helps to relieve tension within the body and can be effectively used for pain relief. It improves the function of the lymph glands and blood circulation and balances the nervous system
