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 alleviate pain.

Functional Movement Perspective

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 the manual therapy Kobus provides, guiding the prescription of movement-specific exercises to correct dysfunctional patterns and restore a sound base of functional balance.

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.
