Ah I see what you mean. Now that really is one to think about! Especially when so many ‘processes’ are at play in this condition!
With regards to FM, I certainly wasn’t referring to recovery, just some kind of amelioration in symptoms, be that that reduced pain or improved functioning.
Do you think this type of approach would be better for treating chronic pain conditions such as FM? The published research would appear to suggest that the structural manual therapy approach to treating FM is not as good as the physical exercise and empowerment route, and so to me it would seem to be a better approach….
I may have joked in my first post, but I never underestimate the importance of therapeutic touch, not when you realise that at 7 weeks intrauterine life the ability to respond to ‘touch’ is present!
I read the article in my lunch, then spent the afternoon telling my patients that my structural treatment was just opening a window of opportunity for themselves to continue their ‘healing process’ before they next see me! They liked that idea a lot. Not sure that’s exactly what the article was referring to, but it helped them understand a little more. So for that, big thanks!
(with tongue firmly in cheek) Is osteopathy just a ‘glorified cuddle’ then? ;)
