THE POWER OF ‘STILL’

- A Gentle Path to ‘Whole Body’ Wellness -

Today we shine a spotlight on ‘STILL’ Technique—an exceptional approach within Osteopathy that honours the body's innate ability to heal. Rooted in the teachings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy, STILL Technique offers a gentle path to holistic wellness.

At its core, STILL Technique is founded on the principles of treating the body as an interconnected whole, rather than focusing solely on isolated symptoms. Osteopaths who practice STILL Technique recognise that the body possesses an inherent capacity for self-healing when given the right environment and support.

During a session at SKELETOS clinic expect to experience STILL technique with delicate examination through touch and careful controlled movements to engage ligaments muscles, and joints.

The goal is to create a harmonious balance within the musculoskeletal system, enhancing blood flow, reducing tension, and promoting overall relaxation. Patients often describe the experience as ‘deeply calming’ and ‘transformative…’

STILL Technique is particularly effective in addressing chronic pain and persistent unresolved issues such as post operative concerns and trauma.

A fundamental aspect of STILL Technique is it’s ability to correct and restore tissue function whilst avoiding any risks normally associated with stronger techniques such as direct manipulation. For this reason, STILL technique is appropriate and favoured when treating the elderly, adolescents, children and those who find themselves with conditions such as osteoporosis and weakened immune systems.
