Osteopathic treatments

in Reggio Emilia

Osteofluidics was born in France (in the mid-1980s) from an Osteopath—Kinesiologist M.R. Poyet; it can be defined as an OSTEOPATHIC HOMEOPATHY. The homeopathic principle acts in a vibrational informational manner; similarly, this method works through gentle stimulations, like a butterfly landing on a flower. The core principle is the holistic global conception that considers the body as a unified whole. In practice, the body reacts globally to any imbalance at the physical level (traumas, accidents), psychological level (stress management), or emotional level (conflicts, grief, abandonment, etc.). Based on this premise, each person is considered and viewed in their uniqueness; therefore, symptoms are not treated, but rather people. Each individual reacts in a different and unique way to the treatment, which, by necessity, can never be repetitive and the same in its execution. For this reason, the sessions are highly personalised.

Fluidic osteopathy

The movement of bodily fluids (blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid) is fundamental for maintaining health. Any obstacle to the free circulation of vital pulsating flows over time creates barriers that will produce disturbances and discomfort, generating what is defined as "somatisation." In the long run, when the body is no longer able to react to this situation and therefore fails to find the best solution for its survival, it manifests a problem. This means that the body receives and reacts to stress, assisting the system as best it can; and if helped and liberated fluidically, it knows the solution to its problems, thus avoiding increasingly greater imbalances over time. Fluidic Osteopathy enables the person, through awareness of what has generated/structured the fluidic restriction in their body, to liberate themselves, thereby seeking the True Cause and Origin of the manifest problem. What is it for? Osteofluidics is a method that effectively removes both manifest and deep effects caused by various stresses that have been stored in the body. As mentioned, energy blockages caused by external disturbances that the body cannot compensate for manifest as traumas and pains at both physical and psychological-emotional levels.

For these reasons, Osteofluidics is indicated:

to resolve all problems of the spine, sciatica, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuralgia
to help address all traumas due to falls or accidents, sprains, strains
intense emotional traumas, processing separations, grief
migraines, fibromyalgia, generalised stress, anxiety states, panic attacks, digestive difficulties, myofascial pain, tension-type headaches
behavioural disturbances
in the case of childbirth with a caesarean section, it is useful for restoring the energy circulation interrupted by the scar
disorders of the reproductive system, painful menstruation
for menopause, hot flashes
all sports traumas from dislocations to sprains to epicondylitis

It is also useful as a preventive tool, as it helps to face daily stresses more consciously. Osteofluidics is a practice that has no contraindications.

Myofascial bioenergetics

The network that connects the various muscles and their integrated and continuous functionality is called the FASCIA. FASCIAL INDUCTION is a technique that is part of manual therapies. It focuses on restoring the altered function of fascial tissue. It involves sending a message through pressure on a specific point in the blocked area, encouraging it to release. The response is not always immediate, and one must wait for the body to metabolise it. This technique acts not only at the muscular level, dissolving the tensions that arise in the body, but also works at a deep level, affecting the organs, the viscera, and the emotional state.

Taoist massage

It is a massage technique that originates from Eastern traditions and philosophies. It is used to restore harmony and balance to the body, mind, and spirit, imparting a profound sense of well-being and general relaxation. The massage is performed through acupressure along the meridians, the energy zones of Yin relaxation and Yang stimulation.

Biointegrative medicine

It is based on a global or holistic concept of the individual. Human health is composed of four elements: • Psychological-mental • Morphological-structural • Biochemical-functional • Internal Energetic Core These four components determine the so-called “TRIANGLE OF HEALTH.” Any manifestation, wherever it occurs, on one of the three sides of the triangle or in the internal energetic core, always affects the others. Biointegrative Medicine employs various disciplines that allow for a comprehensive assessment of the causes that have led to the onset of the problem.

Biointegrative Medicine utilises natural products, herbal preparations, and manual techniques that stimulate the body as a whole to remedy the underlying cause of the manifest event.

Applied kinesiology

It uses muscle testing to identify dysfunctions and imbalances created in the body, providing a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The art of muscle testing is a method that allows for communication with the human organism. Each muscle is associated with a viscera or an organ and an acupuncture meridian. By applying force to a muscle (appropriately identified according to the problem to be resolved), the force reaches the brain, which processes it and provides a response in relation to the existing issue. If the problem is present (for example, an energetic imbalance at the level of the identified organ), the muscle yields; conversely, if the problem does not exist, the muscle remains toned.

Foot and hand reflexology

Foot reflexology is a practice that derives from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The founding master of modern reflexology as a discipline is considered to be William H. Fitzgerald, the American physician who, in 1872, realised that by applying pressure to certain parts of the body, he could perform small operations on the nose and throat without the need for anaesthesia. He then began to map a longitudinal chart of the human body, from the fingers of the hands and feet to the crown of the head. Reflexology theory is based on the principle that all the functions and organs of the human body are reflected in various zones of the foot or hand; this technique acts in three main areas: CONGESTION, INFLAMMATION, and TENSION. Through specific stimulations at precise points on the foot or hand, the natural process of self-healing is stimulated. This type of massage, in addition to being balancing, also produces a valuable relaxing effect that positively impacts elevated stress levels.

Reiki

Reiki, which has its roots in Tibetan Buddhism, is a technique that was rediscovered in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui around the end of the 19th century. The term Reiki derives from the union of two words, Rei and Ki, which means "universal vital energy." Through the use of this energy, harmony is restored on four levels: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. Reiki is based on the stimulation of points called Chakras, a word that comes from Sanskrit and means "wheel or vortex." There are over three thousand points in the body where these centres are identified, but only seven of them are recognised as the main ones and are therefore treated by Reiki. They are positioned both anteriorly and posteriorly and absorb energy from the universe.

Theta Healing

The technique leverages the natural ability to restore balance at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels by using Theta brainwaves, a state of deep relaxation of the mind that allows for immediate action on individuals' inner reality, changing those limiting beliefs and systems of disempowering beliefs that strongly affect their existence, limiting their serenity. Among the benefits of Theta waves, science recognises a reduction in stress and anxiety levels, as well as profound physical and mental relaxation. There is a noted decrease in pain and the release of endorphins, while verbal ability and IQ performance increase.
