posture friend 4
For the cost of just over a single Osteopathic treatment, you can also treat yourself for over 700+ days*
* This number is based upon the conservative estimate of Posture Friend's computer shaped foam core retaining its supportive bounce for a minimum of 2-3 years of daily use.
Posture Friend is a unique ergonomic cushion, designed by an Osteopath - and supported by a Wholistic Therapeutic Movement & Relaxation Program.
"The aim of Osteopathic Medicine is to help people find health and a self-healing capacity: so that degenerative disease, pain and disability become less likely into the future. By using a Posture Friend ergonomic seat-back cushion, and spending a few minutes each day using the included therapeutic movement program; you can prevent health problems from arising at their source. This program can also help manage stress and/or painful musculoskeletal symptoms that may occur throughout life. When the human body functions as a relaxed, integrated and cohesive whole; it naturally has greater self-healing capacity."
Even the smallest individual part of our human body has a reason to exist, and so plays its own essential role in keeping our body alive and well. When all individual parts are in alignment, and functioning as a cohesive & integrated whole; the body is able to supply life sustaining support and nutrition to each and every part. Any localised disruption in these supporting inter-relationships become the origin of future pain and degenerative disease. This program (along with the Posture Friend ergonomic cushion) are designed to disrupt the unnatural effects of sitting for long periods, integrate whole-body structure & function and improve nature's own self-healing capacity.

ABOUT
Hi, my name is David and I've been in Osteopathic practice since 1998. When expressing nature's Health and self-healing capacity, the human body combines mechanical stability with dynamic ever-changing motion. To be stable and fluid at the same time, requires significant amount of inner organisation. Each human being comes into life with a blueprint, or embryo of perfect potential - and our physical body uses this resource throughout life as a dynamic point of reference for growth, development, co-ordination and self-healing. For many people, this memory of Health gets covered over or forgotten – with ongoing stress, body rigidity and pain being the result. This indwelling Health is at the heart of Biodynamic Osteopathy – a mystery and therapeutic resource that brings us closer to our originally intended self. Dr. Andrew Still (surgeon and founder of Osteopathy) wrote “To find health should be the objective of the doctor. Anyone can find disease”.
Healing Tree Osteopathy
Osteopathic Medicine originated almost 150 years ago in the United States. American Osteopathic Physicians are registered medical doctors and receive university training with internship, and the option of specialist training within Osteopathic hospitals. Osteopath's utilise their understanding of body structure and function, and the application of manual therapy to improve the expression of health and self-healing capacity of the human body. Australian Osteopaths have 5 years of university training, and work in private practice - and unlike their American cousins, do not prescribe drug therapy or perform surgery. The Australian Osteopathic profession remains committed to Osteopathy's original foundations of manual medicine; of treating the human body as an integrated whole, and seeking people's greatest potential through preventative healthcare.
