Osteopathic medicine is actually a branch of medicine. They are licensed to practice medicine and even surgery. They are doctors. However, since osteopaths follow the philosophy of looking at the human body as an entire system, they can be great fitness trainers as well. They have great knowledge of anatomy and health science. They know how muscles, bones, and joints work. They know how much a body can take. They follow science when they treat and diagnose a patient. To be an osteopath you have to earn a degree in clinical science and then do a postgraduate study in osteopathy. They go through similar things that other medical doctors undergo in order for them to earn their doctor’s degree. Aside from all the clinical and scientific knowledge, osteopaths must have good communication skills and be able to engage easily with people. But osteopath follow a less invasive way of treating their patients. They will encourage natural healing with little or with no usage of drugs/medicines. They believe that the body has a natural healing capability and that their role is simply to encourage it. By gently manipulating the muscles around the body blood circulation is increased. Some of the techniques of osteopaths bear close resemblance to the arts of healing in Asia. Where physicians will heal the body by simply allowing a greater flow of “Chi”. This knowledge and understanding make osteopaths great doctors for healing physical injuries from sports, arthritis, back pains, pregnancy-related pains and other chronic pains. Their knowledge of the human muscles and bones makes them good fitness trainers since they can advise on what exercises a person can do without the risk of injury. If a patient has been injured due to physical activity an osteopath can help in the rehabilitation by scheduling exercises that increases flexibility and decreasing pain. They can be good guides to better physical fitness because they will take care not to injure with too much physical strain. The combined science and knowledge of osteopathic medicine are good for people who are suffering from obesity, people who have osteoarthritis and people with chronic back pains.  Osteopathy Personal Fitness October 15, 2019 MI Osteopathic 3 Ways to Beat Obesity with Osteopathy and Physical Training A lot of people suffer from obesity. It’s an ailment that is treatable. However, obesity due to its nature causes increased injury rates. The chances of injury during falls are greatly increased; sprains/strains can also happen a lot. And fractures in the lower extremity due to the weight impact can have a devastating effect. Joint dislocations and inflammations can also happen. And there are some people who are having trouble beating obesity. Just going on a diet does not solve the problem. Physical activities and better personal fitness are also very important. The body must develop a better metabolism, better blood circulation and better oxygen intake in order to start losing significant amounts of weight. Increasing blood circulation, reducing muscle and bone stress An osteopath can help in all these areas. With gentle massages the muscles can be made more efficient, allowing blood to flow into the nerves thus increasing the overall blood circulation throughout the body. And joints are manipulated to a wide range of motions creating more flexibility and reducing bone stress. An osteopath can also provide better guidance on what physical activities to undertake. They can help develop a plan of exercises that will cause little strain to the joints preventing joint pains making the activities more enjoyable and tolerable. Increasing physical activities and developing better metabolism As more physical activity is being undertaken the body will start to develop a better metabolism. And with continued osteopathic treatments, the patient will start to develop more confidence. Together with a good diet obesity will be slowly treated and eventually beaten. Osteopathy looks at the entire body as a whole system while employing techniques that do not require drugs or surgical procedures. The treatments have very little or have no stress impact on the body but have a huge impact on its improvement.

And despite how much evidence and stories are being presented, our societies, in general, have not come up with a workable solution. Stress affects your body and mind at the same time. And stress gets to you without you knowing it. People around you will see it but you won’t mind it being there. Stress is not like a gaping wound on your shoulder. If you had one then you’d be rushing yourself to the nearest OR and get it stitched. But the crazy thing about stress is that people will put more importance on broken bones, lacerated muscles, high blood pressure, and diabetes than getting the stress out of their body and their lives. Both your osteopath and your personal fitness trainer can help relieve your stresses. In osteopathy, t...
