Practitioner: Scott Tracey

Scott Tracey is a Registered Osteopath in the United Kingdom. He did his osteopathic training in England where he undertook a four year full-time course.

VISCERAL OSTEOPATHY

This form of Osteopathy is based on the principle that any viscera or internal organ should move and function properly, without any restrictions. Any lack of mobility, fixation or adhesion to another structure, however small, can disrupt the functioning of the organ, facilitating the presence of restriction, not only in the visceral system, but also in the therapy system and any related structure linked through the neurological network.

The therapy is a gentle hands-on, technique that works through the body's visceral system (the stomach, liver, intestines and other internal organs) to locate and alleviate abnormal points of restriction, encouraging normal mobility, motion and function of the viscera and their connective tissues, improving the functioning of individual organs, the systems within which the organs function and structural integrity of the whole body.

Visceral manipulation can be used to alleviate many conditions such as:
  • Neck, back, hip and shoulder pain.
  • Digestive problems (Nausea, heartburn, reflux, hiatus hernia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, etc...)
  • Problems due to pregnancy and post-partum.
  • Colic reflux in babies.

CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY

Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that encourages the release of stresses and tensions throughout the body, including the head. It is a gentle, yet extremely effective approach and may be used in a wide range of conditions for people of all ages from birth to old age.

A Cranial Osteopath understands that children's bodies undergo stress just like adult bodies, but the resulting symptoms in children can be a little different. These stresses and strains can be "normal", as in a strain from the birthing process that has not self-resolved, or due to an incident/accident that does not seem major at the time, e.g. falling on the bottom of the spine, a knock on the head etc... Any tensions, physical, psycho-emotional, which remain held in the body, can restrict its free movement. Gradually, the body may find it more difficult to cope with accumulated stresses and symptoms may develop.

In adults, strains tend to show themselves as pain, headaches, tiredness etc. and we are usually able to identify the feeling. Babies and children with strains may present with crying, irritability, behavioural issues and so forth, rather than pain.

Cranial Osteopathy is ideal for babies and children because of its effective gentleness, with most conditions improving within 3-4 sessions.

It is particularly valuable in newborn babies and in children who are suffering as a result of birth trauma.

Examples of indications:
  • Compression of the skull due to a difficult birth.
  • Colic and feeding difficulties.
  • Sleep problems, fatigue.
  • Anxiety, Stress and hyperactivity.
  • Problems related to Pregnancy.
  • Back and Neck pain.
  • Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Problems.
