Today we focussed upon the psychosomatisation of muscular rigidity within the body as being a barrier or shield that prevents the patient from getting better. Psychosomatisation is a general term which describes the reflex pathway by which the activity of thoughts, mind and emotions overshadow the bodily and muscular functions. For example, whenever we are under any stress, the body responds in many ways. In the majority of people, this stress is unconscious to them. This is very common, due to busy and hectic lifestyles i.e. not enough sleep, bad diet, worry etc. In this respect, Osteopathic treatment enables the body to recognise the sensorial aspect of the body which enables the patient to relax and encourage the right changes to take place in the body. Stress can create muscular blockages which restricts spinal mobility, and this in turn increases the susceptibility to injury e.g. disc compression and neuropathia. What is most interesting, is that the majority of patients who present to clinic with pain are completely unconscious that they are carrying stress in their body.

Osteopathy and Acupuncture treatment enables the patient to become more sensorially aware of their body, which then allows the tissues i.e. muscles, bones and ligaments to find their natural position, encourage the healing process and for the condition to be treated effectively.

Osteopathy and Acupuncture are applied to work through the nervous system, to help regulate the body, calm the mind and reduce stress. Acupuncture using the five element principle is aimed at promoting balance within the emotions and mind.
