What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a profession that makes extensive use of manual assessment and treatment guided by the principles set forth by its founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. The three tenets that guide the practice now are:
Osteopathy views the body as one unit working together and takes all the moving parts into consideration during assessment and treatment. It understands the body is also inherently capable of healing and regulating itself, given the right conditions. The proper alignment of all layers of structure in a body give it the ability to function as it was designed. The motion capacity of the body is directly related to one’s ability to self-heal and regulate. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners are functional anatomists who use manual therapy to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulse and circulation by removing motion restriction where needed.

Our Work Is Heavily Shaped by Our Core Values
01.
Our Sessions
Osteopaths Are Qualified To Observe Areas Of The Body Using A Highly-Developed Sense Of Touch, Known As Palpation, In Order To Determine Circumstances And Identify The Body’s Points Of Weakness Or Extreme Strain. Apart From That Osteopath Will Discuss With You The Most Suitable Treatment Plan, Estimating The Number Of Sessions Required To Treat Your Condition Effectively.
And If Your Osteopath Thinks That Your Situation Is Unlikely To Take Action Against Osteopathic Action, Then You’ll Be Directed About How To Look For Further Treatment.

Whole Body Approach
Osteopathy is a safe and effective therapy for pain & discomfort experienced In the body. Treatment Is based on the principle that the structure and functions of the body are closely integrated, and that a person’s well being is dependent upon the neurological, musculo-skeletal and visceral (internal organs) systems working in harmony.
Osteopaths use a highly developed sense of touch called palpation to assess the problem, diagnose and treat using manual techniques. They do not use medication or surgery.Diagnosing and treating conditions using these techniques is called Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine(OMM).

What to expect?
The first visit can take up to an hour in order to discuss and arrive at a thorough understanding of the overall health status and why a consultation has been sought. The Osteopath will ask detailed questions about the present symptoms, and then perform a series of examinations. An Osteopath will observe posture, may check joints, skin, muscle tone and viscera via palpation (sensing through touch which is a highly developed skill that Osteopaths use for diagnosis). The Osteopath will explain the problem and discuss the line of treatment. Every patient responds differently to pain and treatment, and therefore, treatment sessions and frequency are dependent upon multiple factors. Typically, patients with acute pain receive four treatments on an average, maintaining a gap of several days in between therapies.

About Treatment
Osteopaths use a variety of techniques to aid the expression of health for their patients.These can include palpation, stretching, soft tissue techniques, muscle energy techniques, articulation techniques, HVLA, Cranial-sacral Osteopathy and other manipulations. All techniques aim to improve range of movement, reduce muscle tightness, improve blood flow and nerve supply. The patient may also be given advice on lifestyle changes and exercise.
what is Healingpathy?
Professor sagara karunathilaka introduced Healingpathy to the world as a mixture of Osteopathy and Sri lankan Traditional treatments. He has been able to cure thousands of patients from countries such as france , German , Norway , Sweden , Greece , Italy , Australia , Canada and America based in England for around 12 years.
I belong to a long line of healers stretching back form time immemorial. Originally from Sri Lanka, I am the successor to an ancestral family of healers. I was born in 1966 and completed my primary and secondary education in Sri Lanka. In 1988 I entered the Open International University for Complimentary Medicines (OIUCM). I was based in the Colombo South, Government University Training Hospital; I graduated with a D. Ac., MSc. Ac (MA) (Medicina Alternativa) in 1995 from the OIUCM. Subsequently, I obtained my FRCP (MA) (Fellowship of the Royal Complementary Practitioners (Medicina Alternativa)) qualification in 2001. Altogether I have successfully treated approximately 30,000 patients since 1989 by using my integrated healing methods. I have treated widely deemed incurable diseases such as paralysis, arthritis, cancer, Parkinson’s, migraine, back problems, mental disorders and number of other conditions. Through my unique healing methods I have proved that there are no incurable diseases and practically demonstrated the power of my integrated healing methods by curing those patients completely. I came to the UK in December 2000 and since then I have been working voluntarily with the Princess Royal Trust in London, and at Stockton Carers Resource Centre, Teesside, and in general, providing my healing services to people from all walks of life. I was recognised by Stockton Voluntary Development Agency in 2003 and 2005 consecutively for my voluntary services to the community. I have been appointed as Volunteer Practitioner in Healingpathy at Teesside University Hospital since May 2006, and associated lecturer for Healingpathy at Weston Reserve University (B.C., Canada.)
I completed my Ph.D. in Integrated Complimentary Medicine in 2003 at the OIUCM whilst in the UK. I researched a variety of healing methods during the course of my studies towards obtaining my Ph.D. This work paved the way in founding my new healing discipline: “Healingpathy Healing Science”. This involved extracting the essence of all of my previous individual therapy methods and practical healing experience, and distilling them into one cohesive healing formula, which can be described as a natural healing method harmonising nature and the body without using any conventional medicine. I have been awarded the most prestigious award in the UK, The Knight Commander of the Commonwealth, nominated by the Weston Reserve University, for founding “Healingpathy Healing Science”. Healingpathy has also been nominated for a Queen’s Award for voluntary service–2006. I have been awarded a Citation in Natural Health and Spiritual Science by the Weston Reserve University – 2007. I have written three volumes relating to Healingpathy namely, “Healingpathy Healing Science”, “ Buddhist Healing Power” and “ Musti Yoga Science” which I intend to use in imparting my unique healing science to future generations. In furtherance, I have introduced a cassette tape called “Heal yourself” which contains self-affirming auto-suggestions. As a hobby I started following martial arts from an early age and mastered the techniques, achieving the highest grade in Shoto Kan at the age of 33. I was trained and awarded 8th Dan Black Belt from the International University of Martial Arts in Japan. I founded a new martial art called “Guru Kai” and new Yoga Science called “Musti Yoga” during my research with these self-defence techniques. My other ambition is to create an environment in which all can prosper, especially those who are less fortunate members of society. I am interested in teaching people how to harness the miraculous power of the mind which we all possess, instilling in them Healingpathy’s physical, social, mental and spiritual ethos, and encouraging them to share its benefits with others.
