Osteopathy (known as OMM osteopathic manipulative medicine in the U.S.),  stresses  the connection between all organ systems of the body, specifically focusing on the Musculoskeletal System, and its function throughout the entire body to unify the circulatory, nervous, endocrine, immune, and musculoskeletal systems to function one cohesive unit.  This, combined with good dietary and /or exercise prescription can enhance a fibromyalgia (FM) patient’s well being.  It is also said to be helpful in treating FM’s over-lapping conditions as well (i.e., CFS, CMP or MPS, IBS & others).  In most countries osteopathy uses a more holistic approach and the use of a range of manual and physical treatment interventions.

Early intervention by an osteopath allows probable sources of referred pain to be identified, making it possible for you to change to your lifestyle now to avoid the inevitable pain later on.  Osteopaths can offer prevention advice such as stretching exercises, lifting techniques, posture, breathing and stress reduction, so that individuals can maintain their own health.

As in to relieve the depression, anxiety and stress?

For a long time now there has been an ongoing search for newer  and more effective methods to cure stress and stress-induced diseases. In naturopathy, various therapeutic methods are found to minimize the effects of stress which include lack of focus, anxiety, depression, hypertension, chronic lethargy, infectious diseases and neuro-hormonal imbalances. Natural elements such as colors, aromas of plants, herbs (our site) and flowers find their use in treating stress related disorders.

It was in the last century that a French chemist, Rennee Maurice Gattefosse, developed aroma as a therapy when he discovered the therapeutic power of essential oils extracted from lavender flowers.
