Health is our normal

At Move, we practice the biodynamic model of osteopathy in the cranial field. It is a gentle modality that can be used exclusively or in combination with our more biomechanical style of assessment and treatment.

Biodynamics is a whole body approach. Light touch is used to assess subtle, rhythmic, involuntary motions (including breathing) present throughout all tissues. These motions are aspects of “The Health” and are not only associated with growth and metabolism, but also healing and repair.

Biodynamics (and osteopathy) recognizes that our true nature is always perfect, always whole and always working towards a full expression of health and homeostasis. Often with such busy lives, or with ailments that come our way, it is easy to lose that sense of connection with “The Health”. Biodynamics aims to provide the space and potential for that connection to deepen and restore.

On occasions biodynamics is used in combination with mindfulness based exercises. It is a gentle and holistic way to treat musculoskeletal pain, however many patients also report a greater sense of wellbeing following the treatment. Both cranial osteopathy and biodynamics are now taught at a post-graduate level and require extensive training.
