The bigger picture.
Osteopathy informed by fascia, movement, pain science and neuro-functional assessment.
Movement, load and response.
The clinical picture is considered as a connected whole rather than as an isolated symptom.
Myofascial
Mike trained extensively in Myofascial Release in 2012 and incorporates hands-on fascial techniques within osteopathic treatment.
Neuro-functional
Assessment may explore muscle recruitment, movement patterns and compensations using Mike's postgraduate neuro-functional training.
Pain science
Level 2 SIRPA UK training informs Mike's understanding of the nervous system and persistent pain.
Visceral
Training with the Barral Institute informs selected visceral techniques where clinically relevant.
Breathing
Diaphragm function and breathing mechanics may form part of assessment and treatment where appropriate.
Patient-centred
The approach is bespoke, evidence-informed and adapted to the individual rather than a fixed protocol.
