Читать книгу The Principles and Methods of Osteopathy. Part 1. Biomechanical Methods - I. A. Aptekar - Страница 7

– The subject of osteopathic activity is the restoration of the integrity of the human body with the help of hands.

– Osteopathy is a holistic manual medical system of prevention, diagnostics, treatment and restoration of consequences of somatic dysfunctions entailing breach of health, aimed at restoring the natural abilities of the body to self-correction.

– The specific object of the therapeutic effect of an osteopathic

physician is somatic dysfunction.

– The basis of osteopathy is the fundamental sciences.

– Osteopathy is now integrated into official medicine

– Osteopathy is an evolutionary direction of medicine

– Osteopathy is not divided into parts.

– Health, according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of diseases and infirmity.

– “… An osteopath is looking for health…, every person can find a disease…”

– The official health care system has now focused on finding and effective prevention of diseases.

– The somatic function is expressed by the integrity and neutral calmness.

– Somatic dysfunction as an anatomic morphological substrate is a health manifestation, mechanisms of self-correction and self-restoration; mechanisms of adaptation that are implemented to maintain homeostasis at the stage before the onset of the disease, at the stage of pre-illness.

– Function (functio – execution, fulfillment) is a phenomenon that depends on another phenomenon and changes as this other phenomenon changes.

– In the case of the human body, the function is an arbitrary or involuntary reaction of the organism in response to the influence of the external environment.

– The functional impairment is a violation of the mechanism of adaptation in the process of vital activity of the organism in the changing external environment.

– A functional disturbance, or a violation of adaptation, can be local, regional, but it is always global.

– The purpose of the function is to adapt effectively

– Somatic dysfunction is primarily a global violation of the adaption of the entire body, the entire soma, a violation of the integrity of the body.

– In working with children under 3—5 years of age, we use a biomechanical method exclusively for diagnostic purposes.

– Functional impairment, or somatic dysfunction, is manifested at the biomechanical level by a change in the state of biomechanical unity; at the functional level – a violation of the synchronous implementation of functions relative to each other and relative to global body functions; at the biodynamic level – a violation of the integrity of the organism and its habitat (mother Nature), of which it is a part.

– Somatic dysfunction is a functional impairment manifested by biomechanical, rhythmogenic and neurodynamic components.

– Three sources of osteopathy:

– unconditional love,

– spirituality,

– holistic health.

– In osteopathy it is customary to distinguish three methods:

– biomechanical,

– functional,

– biodynamic.

– Functions of the human body are manifested by different rhythmic mobility.

– In the process of perceptive diagnostics, the global mobility of the human body is felt as a holistic vibration of a certain force, frequency and amplitude. It can be felt under the hands.

– Violation of synchronicity of interaction between parts of the body leads to a functional and biomechanical violation.

– Sanogenetic reactions of the body, aimed at maintaining homeostasis, go beyond the limits of physiological comfort, forming clinical manifestations of somatic dysfunctions.

– Disease is a variant of adaptation of the organism to changing environmental conditions that has gone beyond the limits of the functional norm.

– Disease is a manifestation of health, the struggle of the organism for its functional integrity, for survival.

– Osteopathic lesion is a complex of functional reactions of the

body as a response to the direct action of exogenous factors.

– The lesion field is a complex of reactions of the organism in the process of its adaptation to the damaging exogenous factor. The lesion field has its own boundaries, the centre (the fulcrum).

– Somatic dysfunction is a manifestation of health in the form of

physiological organism’s reactions in response to osteopathic lesion.

– The main role of the doctor -osteopath is manifested in the prevention of violation of functional unity, the vital integrity of the human body, dysfunctional changes in the immune and autonomic nervous systems.

– The subject of studying osteopathy is human health and its adaptation to environmental changes as well as the conditions for the formation of health, its preservation and development.
