Osteopathy with Kery Levy. BSc (Hons) Ost
Osteopathy is an extremely effective form of manual medicine that aims to restore the body’s musculoskeletal system to a state of balance.
Osteopaths commonly treat pain and dysfunction of the spine as well as all other joints in the body. The results are achieved via a hands on holistic approach. The cause of pain is diagnosed manually and treated accordingly. Pain relief would be expected quickly and if this is not the case further investigation with the use of X-ray, M.R.I. scan can be arranged. Any injury not responding or that falls outside the boundaries of osteopathy will be referred to a relevant consultant or other specialist.
Osteopathic treatment is generally very gentle, and uses a wide range of techniques that are considered extremely safe. These include sports massage, gentle joint mobilisation, spinal manipulation, trigger point treatment, myofascial stretching as well as Ultra sound and Interferential treatments. Once the patient is on the way to recovery a tailored rehabilitation programme is prescribed.
For the long term maintenance of your injury we also recommend our Pilates Classes which will help you become more body aware.
Common Problems Treated:
FORMAT OF THE TREATMENT
In the initial consultation a complete medical case history will be taken, this will include:
• History of the injury.
• Past medical history.
• Family medical history.
The musculoskeletal aspect of the injury will be examined as well as the medical involvements where necessary.
We will also arrange any other tests including blood test and M.R.I. scans if needed.
Once the problem has been isolated the diagnosis will then be explained to the patient along with the benefits of undergoing the treatment.
Once the symptoms have subsided a rehabilitation program will be given to help strengthen the area of weakness.
Strapping can be used with more acute injuries to decrease inflammation at the site of injury and in the initial stages of rehabilitation.
Background on Kery Levy
Having been deeply involved in playing a number of sports, I experienced the inevitable down side of injury on a number of occasions. Using Osteopathy I was able to return to activity amazingly quickly
I applied to the London School of Osteopathy (5 year degree course) and graduated in 2002.while I was training to be an Osteopath, I worked for six years in an Osteopathic practice that specialized in the treatment of both professional and amateur sports men and women. These included working with first team players from Chelsea F.C. and Crystal Palace.
Using the combined effects of Osteopathy, electrotherapy, strapping, and rehabilitation the recovery speed from injury to full fitness is remarkable. Many Osteopaths say they treat sports injury. An in-depth knowledge of the dynamics of the particular sport a person is returning to is key in returning them to full fitness as quickly and safely as possible.
I opened The 1-2-1 Osteopathic clinic in 2005. The facilities include 3 treatment rooms, retail area, and a dedicated rehabilitation gym.
