BIODYNAMIC OSTEOPATHIC TREATMENT
This osteopathic treatment involves hands-on gentle manipulations to free areas of the body that have restricted motion.
This type of treatment is used to treat any area of the body.
Hands may be placed under your sacrum, on the feet, chest, or head. Treatment can help with any problem due to an injury, after dental work, TMJ, headaches, sinus problems.
Because it addresses your nervous system, you can experience a sense of well-being, improved sleep, and better hormone function.
Dr. Lane is not an osteopathic physician (D.O.), she took a three year course for naturopaths taught by osteopathic physicians specializing in biodynamic osteopathy as taught by Dr. James Jealous, D.O.
Osteopaths and naturopaths share the same philosophy that the body works as one harmonious system, rather than as a collective grouping of separate parts. Therefore our treatments are based on restoring the level of health possible when all systems are working at their best
ARVIGO TECHNIQUES MAYAN ABDOMINAL MASSAGE
This treatment is oriented around positioning the uterus into its natural healthy place in the center of the pelvis. Many uteruses have a flexion (bent over itself) or are sitting to one side, and or back or front. With this comes symptoms such as painful menses, decreased circulation to the uterus, ovaries, legs, feet; fibroids, infertility, back pain. Also varicose veins and hemerrhoids can be related to the impingement on circulation.
The Mayan approach to healing is the simple basic nature cure. Promote circulation of blood, lymph, and qi (energy) and the body can maintain homeostasis. The Mayan abdominal massage includes massage of the lower and upper abdomen, back and sacrum. Digestive system problems as well as chronic muscle/ligament troubles of the low back and hips can be corrected. The repositioning of the uterus is done from the abdomen.
Also for men, this treatment will increase blood and lymph flow to and around the prostate, improving the prostate health, sexual function, and sperm health. The treatment is the same as for women so the benefits for digestion and back pain are also a result for men.
Who should get this treatment?
Women with: fertility issues, painful or irregular periods, prolapse of uterus or bladder, chronic pelvic disorders: vulvodynia, painful intercourse, fibroids, cysts, hemerrhoids, heavy periods, light periods, chronic yeast, bladder infections.
Men and women with decreased ability for orgasm, low back or sacrum pain, digestive complaints.
