Prostate Relief

Osteopathy at the office || Zero Gravity in a private, heated, indoor pool

 

Our Zero Gravity sessions for Prostate Relief  harness the benefits of warm buoyancy and use a variety of 3-dimensional techniques that cannot be applied during regular "land-based" therapy. Amongst other manual techniques, Zero Gravity uses Prostate-specific Visceral Manipulation.

Osteopathic Visceral Manipulation

  

Osteopathic Visceral manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy based on the work of Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral (DO). Visceral manipulation addresses prostate-related issues by gently encouraging the normal movement and function of the prostate and surrounding joints, tissues, and organs.

Through precise, gentle hands-on techniques including joint mobilizations, the therapist aims to reduce swelling, muscle tension, fascia restrictions, and improve mobility, blood & lymph flow, and organ function.

 

 

How can Osteopathy address prostate issues?

   

The prostate is surrounded by various tissues including fascia layers, attachments, muscles, and organs. If any of these structures become restricted in their motility or function, it can lead to increased tension and irritation that can contribute to, or aggravate, prostate dysfunction.

Manual Osteopathic techniques are applied with the purpose of improving mobility and function of the body as a whole, and more specifically, the prostate gland and surrounding tissues and organs.​ 

Our Zero Gravity sessions for Prostate Relief  harness the benefits of warm buoyancy and use a variety of 3-dimensional techniques that cannot be applied during regular "land-based" therapy. 

 

Benefits

Our sessions assist in the management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and may help improve the following symptoms:

  • Nocturia: Frequent urination at night

  • Dysuria: Painful, difficult urination

  • Straining to pee and weak, "stop-start" flow

  • Needing to pee urgently and/or too frequently

  • Not being able to fully empty the bladder

  

In most cases, improvement is experienced after the first session

The nature of our swing is highly dependent on our physical capabilities. Strength, flexibility and mobility are always key to an improved game. 

   

The importance of incorporating stretching techniques into our warm-up and cool-down routines is well known, but I need to introduce the latest notion of releasing. Releasing improves the efficacy of a stretch and mitigates potential muscle damage while stretching or during the game. Releasing and stretching support each other and go together. 

Releasing is the application of specific Soft Tissue techniques in areas of “tightness” and "muscle knots” and you can do it yourself.

To learn more about warm-up, cool-down and releasing/stretching practices, please visit our website at the link below.

A couple of hints:

   

  • Always listen to your body and move within a pain free range.

  • Favour quality over quantity (Releasing adds quality).

The Art of Embodied Cognition

Embodied Cognition is the idea that the relationship between our mind and body runs both ways. The science behind Postureffect embodies this theory and through established therapies, enables the body to find homeostasis.

 

The resulting balance will enhance your well-being by refining the way you perceive and position your body and consequently your perception of the world and its perception of you.

Naprapathy finds its roots in Osteopathy and Eastern Europe manipulative practices. This wholistic discipline addresses all body systems and, especially the connective issues including the Fascia System.

  

Naprapathy was created in the United States in 1907. During the following decades, Naprapathy spread through Europe and deepened its roots in the Scandinavian countries, especially in Sweden where the first Naprapathic College outside the United States was founded in 1970. 

  

 

 

 

To know more, visit our website.

Practicing an osteopathic philosophy is embracing the fusion between the "wholistic and boundless" aspect of our nature and the detailed study of our bits-and-pieces by Anatomy, Physiology and several other branches of science. 

Osteopathic Manual Therapists identify and assess body systems and individual structures using a hands-on approach. Osteoarticular mobilization, advanced fascia release, visceral manipulation, craniosacral, and other manual osteopathic techniques are applied with the purpose of correcting imbalance and improving movement, suboptimal rhythm, function and vitality.

  

At Postureffect, our premise is prevention. Our sessions and programs seek to improve posture, sustain optimal mobility and maintain efficient body function and movement. 

  

We deeply believe in the power of awareness, instruction and self-responsibility. Combined, they allow our patients to play an active role in their healing processes and help them enjoy a healthier and more fulfilled life.

To know more, visit our website.

Naprapathy is regulated in the United States and is well established in Northern Europe, where the profession has been part of the Swedish health care system since 1994. 

We are proud to be the first clinic in Canada offering ZERO GRAVITY - Napraquatic Medicine services. At Postureffect, we are passionate about providing therapy, instruction and guidance. Your wellbeing is our motivation to constantly innovate.
