Philosophy
Launa uses a combination of approaches and methods drawn from the different modalities she has studied. Using the classical style of osteopathy, which is a full body adjustment using rhythmical movements to assess and treat the body, she incorporates a philosophy that recognizes the wisdom of the body. This approach aims to not only address physical imbalances but also create a sense of safety, allowing the body’s innate healing abilities to optimize functions such as rest, digestion, detoxification, and repair.
This style and philosophy of osteopathy is also diagnostic in nature, going beyond the surface to perceive what is out of neutral/natural posture and rhythm. By attuning to the body’s fluidity of movement or lack of, Launa gains insight into imbalances, tightness in muscles/tissues, and even disturbances in the nervous system. This understanding guides her in applying various structural osteopathic techniques, myofascial work, cupping, trigger point therapy or organ treatments. She approaches this process with patience, allowing muscles and connective tissue the time they need to release, as she recognizes the longer-lasting effects this brings.
While Launa may also incorporate clicks and osteopathic joint manipulations when consented to, she views them as complementary enhancements rather than the sole focus of treatment. Understanding that these techniques can be beneficial, she considers them ‘icing on the cake’ with more emphasis on integration within the body to facilitate progress. When restoring harmony within the body it is important to address the compensations and adaptations alongside the root of the problem in order for health and comfort to be restored, and the prevention of re-occurrence.
