Could you benefit from an osteopathic consultation?
Neck, back or shoulder pain are the most common conditions for which people make an osteopathy appointment. However, an osteopathic treatment can also be considered when you’re suffering from headaches, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, general malaise, concentration problems...
That osteopathy tends to be known only for physical problems is probably due to the word osteopathy itself as people translate it literally to bone disease.
What Andrew Taylor Still (1828 - 1917) meant, when he gave the name 'osteopathy' was that the bone or ‘osteon’ the starting point was to ascertain the cause of pathological conditions (pathos) or in other words feeling disease through careful palpation of the bones. Thus not limiting the approach to conditions related to the bones but to all ailments: physical, physiological, psychological...
The 5 year training is probably another influencing factor as most of that time the focus lies on the physical and little on the other realms of our being.
The development of Osteopathic Body-Coaching:
From early on I was interested or should I say intrigued in the mind related benefits an osteopathy treatment had to offer.
Listening to my patients feedback I became aware that treatments were not only bringing relieve to their physical complaints. Many patient commented on the improvement of their cognitive abilities (more focus, easier to make decisions, more clarity...) their increased emotional stability (More resilient, returned positive outlook, increased self-awareness...) and their reduced stress levels (less tense, coping better with demands...) after a single treatment. Some even remarked on the sense that they had more time! Now wouldn't you like that too, more time, be more resilient and be clearer in mind? I did and thus started a personal quest to find answers.
More then 6 years into that quest and yes I do have some answers and apply them in my consultations.
Do you need some help?

What patients say:
“After suffering for years with back and neck pain, and after visiting doctors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, you name it, I finally found someone who had relieved my pain. After a few sessions with Tom, my pain was gone. I still return monthly for maintenance sessions, but I have been living pain free for 2 years!” - T. Jones
What is...?
Osteopathy is a manual facilitated health care approach based on the principle(s) that the body is a dynamic unit in which all parts are interrelated and interdependent and which possesses a self regulatory and self healing mechanism. Read more...
Cranial osteopathy is a more refined form of osteopathic treatment (no manipulations of the spine) that encourages the release of stresses and tensions throughout the body and head using the Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM). Read more...
Biodynamic Osteopathy was developed by James Jealous and is based on W.G. Sutherlands' Cranial Osteopathy. J. Jealous added another element termed 'the Neutral'. This neutral is achieved without any force or interference applied by the osteopath. The osteopath is there to facilitate the inherent Breath of Life, the life force within the Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM). Read more ...

Tickle your Amygdala (2012)
This book (also available in Kindle version) has the transcription of an interview I gave Neil last year where we talked about Osteopathic Body-Coaching and the stimulation of the amygdala (part of the brain that is activated in times of stress). This interview is one of many he had with doctors, neuroscientists, actors (incl. Terry Jones form Monty Python) , artists,...
The book starts with a fun and simple explanation of what amygdala tickling is all about and part two is a more detailed explanation of it + 52 transcribed interviews + practical exercises.

Client feedback
I came to visit Tom for some heavy stress and mental/emotional difficulties I have been experiencing over the last 3 years, He used reconnective healing upon my request for which I have not had tremendous healing experiences from having used it once in the past. However, this time I noticed a great improvement in mental symptoms and I was able to overcome and let go of things that I needed to let go of and find positivity in my life, whatever these issues were, which is a great start. Now we are thinking of maybe working a bit further on the physical aspects which might have influenced the emotional issues. I like the multiple/interdisciplinary approach that Tom takes to ensure better results! Tom is also a pleasure to talk to, and takes his time. I can thoroughly recommend him to anyone who has difficulties in life!
