Towards Holistic Health! Our Story…
By Design Holistic Health, an Integrative and Allied Health multi-disciplinary clinic, established in the Yarra Valley in 2003, welcomes all people, where your health is our specialty.
Osteopathic philosophy runs across all our modalities and influences the way we view each person and in the ways we offer healthcare advice.
The idea of “by design” recognises that we have been created with a purpose in mind, relating to our physical, psychological, spiritual and emotional wellbeing.
The principle of “holistic” encompasses the many facets of health that make up who we are, placing the person as priority, the sanctity of human life as paramount and our overall health is a function of many interrelated body workings.
In short, we practice holistic medicine with these premises in mind:
● The body is a unit. All parts are connected and operate in unison under optimal conditions.
● Structure and function are inter-related. When structure is aligned, the body’s amazing system can function properly, while a malfunctioning body part will create structural changes. Both must be treated to obtain health.
● The body’s cells tend towards self-healing when given the appropriate food/nutrition, adequate oxygen, regular exercise and anti-stress regimes. Oh, and good genetics help too!
● Treatment, once a diagnosis is established, combines ‘hands-on’ therapies in conjunction with physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual advice. When given in a practitioner-patient consultation, these must be governed by the above principles to see the best health possible achieved.
