treatment at soft tissue
osteopathy & yoga

Holism – initial session (1 h)
Bits are interesting but the whole is informative.
Situating a patient’s specific complaint in the context of a comprehensive appreciation of their story/narrative is much more potent.

Your first session at soft tissue will include a thorough assessment and discussion of general health issues as well as other dimensions potentially influencing your health. Osteopaths integrate (where it is indicated) conventional neurological and orthopaedic assessment with osteopathic diagnosis before treatment. Patients can expect to have hands-on osteopathic therapy at the time of the initial session and leave having a sense of a tissue-specific diagnosis, a prognosis and treatment plan.

short session (1/2 h)
Once a treatment response (improved symptoms) has been produced by the patient and the diagnosis is clear, short consultations can be adequate for many patients. This is combined with learning individualised and specific movement practices (see amplification through movement).

integrated session (1 h)
Patients with more complex stories often choose to explore these in a longer setting. A wider range of osteopathic procedures, some of them quite subtle and gentle can be applied in a less hurried time-frame. The hour enables more thorough discussion of interrelated health and other issues.
