23.01.2022 Why do osteopathy and TRE work well together? INTERESTING POINT: Osteopathy and TRE are a powerful match when used together because they each rely on natural physical responses for pain relief and well-being. Osteopaths focus on components of the body, such as bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and connective tissues, and how they work in harmony. The treatments shouldn’t feel painful, but it’s normal to feel slight soreness after your first session as your body is adjusting... to the treatment. TRE also uses physical activities, like stretching and movement, that leads to the shaking. The goal is to help the body release any stress, trauma or tension that may be caused by past or present stressors. If you need enhanced well-being and/or an holistic approach to health, osteopathy and TRE may be the solution for you, so please get in touch. https://www.osteolife.com.au/contact-us/

CASE STUDY: One of our clients was suffering severe chronic lower back pain, which began two years previously, but had reached the point where she could hardly stand or walk.... She was also experiencing muscle spasms and nerve pain down her leg, which was affecting her daily routines, such as swimming and walking to work.
