THERAPEUTICS
|
WHY THERAPEUTICS? Because we are starving for connection—to be heard, felt, and seen. To be truly witnessed. Because we are exhausted and depleted. Because we know how to give but not how to receive. Because the body and mind need rest and the soul needs nourishment. Because each person is unique and requires different therapies, different treatment—different medicine.
Therapeutics was born from the womb of my own health crisis. It has been inspired by my students, friends, and family who are suffering from chronic pain and inflammation; anxiety and depression. To all whom western medicine has left no answers within the exhaustive list of unspecified and incurable diseases. Therapeutics is a response to this call with an antidote and simple solution: Your body holds the answer. |

TRADITIONAL THAI YOGA MASSAGE HISTORY
Traditional Thai Yoga finds it's roots in Northern India over 2,500 years ago when Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, prestigious personal physical to Magadha King Bimbisara became a contemporary of the Buddha.
Thus, Jivaka's Ayurvedic healing applications reached Thailand where it was further refined to reflect Buddhist ideologies. This form of bodywork was understood to be the physical application of Metta, 'loving kindness'. Until recent history, Thai bodywork remained hidden in Buddhist monasteries for centuries until it reemerged as a viable and respected form of holistic medicine.
Thai massage is based on the subtle-body anatomy of energetic lines (nadis) that run through the body. Science has proven that disturbances in the flow of energy (prana) leave the body vulnerable to illness, injury, and emotional imbalance. Hands-on therapeutic assists of Thai yoga work to release stuck and dormant energies, thereby recruiting your body's natural agency to reduce pain and inflammation, thereby restoring health, vitality, and wellness.

OSTEOPATHY: A BRIEF HISTORY
Osteopathy is a natural medicine and science that proposes that the entire body, when adequately nourished will function to maintain, repair, and heal itself. An Osteopath does not treat disease, but rather the person who has a disease. Osteopathy comes from the word osteome, which means structures of all living matter. This includes bone, soft tissue, viscera, myofascia, veins, arteries, etc. Pathos is translated as a profound emotion which needs to be expressed. Therefore, osteopathy is concerned with the whole person, and how that person interacts with their internal and external environments.
Osteopathy was discovered by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in1874. Dr. Still was a physician and surgeon who, in1860, lost three children and several patients to a meningitis epidemic. At that time, he discontinued his practice of medicine for approximately ten years, and he began to question traditional medical concepts and treatment. It was through his extensive study of anatomy and physiology of the human being that, in 1874, he defined the basic concepts of osteopathy. He studied the consequences of vertebral and peripheral malalignment which provoked circulatory, lymphatic, nervous, and venous disorders. He found that by restoring both anatomical and physiological relationships between the organism’s systems, the body has the inherent ability to heal itself.
