Manual Osteopath And Founder
CurrentBio-Structural Integration™: The body works as a functional unit and all of the systems are interconnected. A therapeutic approach that concentrates only on one of the systems will not produce good results. In addition, outside of the joints, ligaments and muscles, there is also the Central Nervous System (CNS), viscera (internal organs), and fascia that can create restrictions which are not addressed in chiropractic, massage or physiotherapy. Chronic inflammation very often cannot be removed using these modalities either and taking anti-inflammatory medication can have serious side effects.Bio-Structural Integration™ is my method of treatment combining Osteopathy, Massage Therapy, Electrotherapy, Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) and rehabilitative exercises. Within a one hour treatment, osteopathic adjustments correct the issues within the CNS, the joints, connective tissue (including fascia and ligaments) and viscera. Neuromuscular Massage Therapy releases tight muscles and electrotherapy breaks the pain cycle. In many cases this is still not enough because the chronic inflammation, creating congestion of dense fluids around the joints, muscles and internal organs, will prevent healing and structural stabilization. In this case, I recommend LILT (Low Intensity Laser Therapy). BioFlex Laser Therapy triggers many positive physiological reactions at the cellular level removing inflammatory fluids. When this is achieved adjustment of the misaligned joints and release of the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc.) becomes much easier.Rehabilitative exercises stretch and strengthen muscles and connective tissues allowing for optimal alignment of the body. Utilizing this method of Bio-Structural Integration™ restores normal range of motion, eliminates pain and ultimately will improve your quality of life. - Andrew Subieta M.Sc., R.M.T., D.O.(M.P.)
