Osteopathy is a drug free system based on manipulative techniques to improve physiological function. Osteopaths see the human body as being capable of curing itself, and the duty of the practitioner is to remove any impediments to the healthy function of each person. Most osteopathic techniques are very gentle and relaxing, although some can be quite forceful.
Osteopaths are best known for their work on back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, repetitive-strain type conditions and headaches. Other conditions helped by Osteopathy are sinus and respiratory conditions, ear infections and digestive problems, with people who are pregnant and people with sporting injuries. Since the work involve freeing up the body to be able to repair and heal itself, a wide range of conditions respond well with this type of natural therapy.
Hot Stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release.
The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another. The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand to improve the flow of energy in your body.
