Motion is a constant characteristic of life no matter what perspective you look at it. “Where there is life, there is motion” (The Osteopathic Cranial Academy, 2015). When the motion of an individual’s body has achieved balance or ease - from the microscopic cellular level, to the segmental level, to the body as a complete system - this signifies a state of health and homeostasis. When a disruption is made to the motion of an individual’s body, by either an internal or external imbalance or force, disease or dis-ease occurs. Osteopathy recognises the importance of the most slight movement within the internal environment of tissues and cells then relates this knowledge in its exceptional form in medical care and treats accordingly using a range …show more content…
This is ‘Involuntary Motion’ or the ‘Cranial Rhythm’. This rhythm was first defined in the early 1900’s by Dr. William G. Sutherland (Kuchera & Marcus, 2005). When tension is present in the body the cranial rhythm becomes disordered, this disorder is what cranial osteopaths work on to restore motion balance. The theory of motion is life can also be seen in other health systems worldwide. The Breath of Life as a basic belief is found in many cultures – Prana, Qi, Kundalini, Nephesch or fluid (mesmerism). Also the belief of dynamic stillness – Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Greek and Chinese ideologies talk about the creative characteristic of the stillness. It corresponds with the healing and generating effect of the dynamic stillness in osteopathy (Feiel-Schmidt, 2004). Existence is energy, the movement of energy in so many ways and so many forms.
The Osteopathic Philosophy is constructed on four main principles, those of which can be linked to the notion of motion is life. The principles are as follows:-
1. The human being is a dynamic unit of

(A.T. Still, 1897) P43 He understood that within the tissues, there is an inherent desire to function at the optimal state. The body has its own repair; self-regulating and self-healing process witch when impeded may result in ill health. Osteopaths try to analyze where the homeostatic mechanisms where impeaded. This includes exploring the state of soft tissues, from the muscles, ligaments and articular capsules to the state of connective tissues and fascial sheaths and the state of the tissues of the internal organs of the body and how all these tissues
Task 8.1b- disorders and dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is the most common arthritis. It is an incurable condition which affects your joints. The surface within the joints become joints become damaged which stops the joints moving smoothly. [1] The symptoms of this are: o Pain and stiffness o Swelling o Not being able to move the joint normally o A grating/grinding feeling
The pain that patients report is out of proportion to the severity of the injury. The pain gets worse, rather than better, over time. Eventually the joints become
Chapter six welcomes us into the skeletal system by presenting functions,types,structure, and development of bones. We are also presented the ideas of fractures and even the spine- curling snap of a broken bone which means a band aid simply won 't do! For example, Hematoma formation , Fibrocartilaginous callus, Bony callus ,and Remolding must occur to heal ,aka 3-10 weeks in a signature infested cast ,and if the break eventuated* on your arm, a complementary farmer 's tan. The Axial Skeleton makes an appearance by explaining itself as lying in the middle of the body and consisting of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, thoracic cage, and middle ear bones. The complexity, physiology and delicate fashions of each member of this group is expressed.
All these 5 principles are vital in the plot of this movie. The first High-Five principle is Change is Constant. One example of this is when Jimmy had moved 14 times when he was a kid, but finally stopped in Texas. This shows how he had to go through the constant
Another principle that I try to follow is treating everyone equally. The principle has stemmed from Fyffe by me seeing people from the town be horribly rude to people for things they cannot help. Although the majority of people are not like this, it has shown me how I do not want to be and in this way Fyffe has created this principle for
Respect the Human Person: in a simple words respect Human beings. 2. Promote the Family: the human beings is not simply a person but it’s rather a family and made of community so you should value your
When a college student says that they are a kinesiology major the first thought that may come to mind when thinking of what that person wants to be is a coach or an athletic trainer. Moreover, there are several different careers whom might pursue from a kinesiology degree. Kinesiology is defined as the study of the mechanics of body movements, so the careers capable of being pursued range from coaches or athletic trainers to physical therapists. One discipline in kinesiology that be will be discussed is the job of a prosthetic practitioner. Which will be the purpose of this writing, to inform you about this kinesiology career and the concepts of it.
Establishing a Bachelor 's degree in Kinesiology, taught me the fundamentals of human movement and wellness. Following my Bachelor’s, I went on to pursue a Master’s of Science in Kinesiology where I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to collaborate with my mentors and principal investigators in their psychophysiological laboratory. My master’s program prepared me to work in this research setting and participate in a challenging interdisciplinary program. It was while participating in this research program that I had the opportunity to work with participants, both children and adults, who were exceedingly ill individuals with functional and mitochondrial disorders. Both of my degree’s helped create an interdisciplinary approach towards human kinetics and wellness, by focusing on body awareness and muscle feedback; pain and stress can be reduced.
In 1984 Kitchener introduced five moral principles that are viewed as the cornerstone of the ethical guidelines. The principles are each definite truths in and of themselves. The first principle is Autonomy which means people have the right to live their own lives as their actions do not prevent the well-being of others. They also have the right to act as a free agent as well as the freedom of choice. Then there is the principle Nonmaleficence
63). It is based on the assumptions that humans are unitary beings and also works off the assumption that each unitary being is constantly coexisting, interacting, and exchanging with the universe around them. This theory emphasizes that although infinitely intertwined with their environment, each individual person or group interacts differently; creating their own personalized worldview and definition of health and well-being. Parse describes that humans are intentional and that “their involvements are not random but chosen for reasons known and not known” and that being human is the act of being intentional, open, present, and knowing with the world around you. Parse also discusses the importance of being “truly present” (Parse, 1998, p. 71) and the goal of her theory is to support people as they enhance their quality of
If you want ti make progress in any field of endeavour, these are the essential principles. You must discover a working basis that is universal in its
These five principles are historical time and place, timing of lives, how lives are linked, human agency, and development and aging as a continual process of life (Schmalleger, 2012). The principle of historical time and place is a person’s life course through their individual life. The principle of timing involves the developmental effect that events or experiences have on a person and when they take place (Schmalleger, 2012). The principle of how lives are linked is the effect that social or shared relationships have on a person. The principle of human agency is the choices that are made by people within a historical context that leads to the development of their life course (Schmalleger, 2012).
Every class, injury, and experience has been in pursuit of my goal to help others live their healthiest lives.

First one is “everyone must have the freedom to communicate with anyone”, because the most efficient way to deal with numerous problems is to trust people to work out the difficulties directly with each other without having to check for permission. Second principle is “it must be safe for everyone to offer ideas”, Pixar make a concerted effort to make it safe to criticize by showing what they liked and did not like with the explanation why. The third principle is “we must stay close to innovations happening in the academic community” in order to reinforce the mind-set to improve their
