My mental health improvement began properly about seven years ago when I received osteopathic treatment for back pain. Being pain-free helped give me the energy and confidence as well as some balance in my mind to look at other ways of bringing peace and happiness into my life.
In my opinion, you can’t have balance in your mind if you don’t have it in your body. Osteopathy is a great starting place to begin your road to recovery.
The amount of people of all ages and walks of life who enter the clinic with mental health issues is increasing weekly. What they find most comforting is someone saying “I know exactly what you’re going through”. In a lot of cases I’m able to pass on the advice I got along my road to recovery, which has really helped my patients over the years.
To fully get to the root of the problem, I believe anxiety and depression must be tackled on many different levels including:
The physical | Osteopathy, Excercise, Stretching, Yoga & Diet. |
The mental | Good counselling or CBT work. |
The spiritual | I will teach you mindfulness and how to meditate. |
The energetic | During my treatment you are automatically receiving powerful healing Reiki energy from my spirit guides and channelled by me. |
The emotional | Putting what you’ve learned from the above into practice. |
Medication | In certain cases, this can be the first step before you can take on the above, then you can look at improving your diet, lifestyle, stress levels and relationships. |
Osteopathy is a great stepping stone to help you on the road to recovery. I like to work closely with your doctor and other therapists who may be involved, to create a wrap around program.
I will also advise and support you to improve your diet, help you create an easy exercise and stretching program and educate you if necessary in how to begin a simple meditation/mindfulness practice which will help you feel calmer more confident and stronger in yourself.
