The Holistic Approach Kobus Offers
Osteopathic Manual Therapy
Osteopathy provides holistic solutions for the underlying causes of chronic pain and dysfunction. Based on a thorough assessment of each individual, gentle manual therapy techniques are used to restore balance and interconnected function between the musculoskeletal, visceral, nervous and circulatory systems, supporting the body's natural capacity to heal and helping to alleviate pain.
Functional Movement Perspective (FMS & SFMA)
As a Certified Functional Movement Specialist, Kobus uses the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to identify dysfunctional or asymmetrical movement patterns underlying chronic pain, recurring injury or reduced performance. The FMS evaluates the quality of fundamental movement patterns and brings hidden pain to the surface, while the SFMA is used when pain is present to identify its underlying cause. These findings are then carefully integrated with manual therapy to guide the prescription of individually specific corrective exercise.
Natural Health Support
Drawing on decades of experience in natural health and his current studies in this field, Kobus' holistic care may also include guidance on digestive disorders and the appropriate use of nutraceuticals and herbal supplements.
