After the session patient feels surge of energy and good mood, tension and tiredness leave. Osteopath chooses an individual scheme of treatment for every single patient.

Course of treatment is usually 3-6 sessions which are carried out once per 7-10 days approximately, since after the session body needs time to adapt to its new condition and to “complete adjustment” of all the systems when inner mechanisms of self-regulation turn on. Sessions can be carried out more often if patient is in a too difficult condition.

Duration of the session varies from 5 to 60 minutes, since it depends on individual reaction of a body on treatment, sometimes “the answer” can be got on the fifth minute of treatment, and sometimes an hour is not enough and osteopath has to work hard to gain needed reaction of a body. The main thing for doctor and patient is not a quantity of spent time but the quality of conducted treatment and its effectiveness!

While working with little kids (if they are awake) session consists of alternate periods of active osteopath’s work (5-10-15 minutes), when a child allows to cure him/her and pauses during which a child rests from “work”, moves, communicates, plays. If it’s an especially restless child it is necessary to find literally seconds to conduct correction of the osteopathic disorders. Conducting of the session with a little child is the most favourable and efficient when the child is sleeping.

Apart from an osteopathic treatment, individual complex of exercises and recommendations for nutrition and patient’s lifestyle are chosen. Harmful external influences are corrected too: wrongly chosen pillow or mattress can cause a disease.

Osteopath is a surgeon who operates without knife, by hands only; doctor achieves a result making manipulations on a bone or an organ and makes it in a gentle and painless way. That’s why osteopathy is called bloodless surgery in the West today.
