OSTEOPATHIC THERAPY for CANCER
 | | Andrzej Strzalkowski, RPT |
Osteopathic therapy is a form of treating patients body as a unit of body, mind and spirit. Body structure and internal function are interrelated; and the body has self-healing properties. The Osteopathic physician is trained to evaluate the difference between a purely structural abnormality and a structural abnormality that is being caused by an underlying internal problem. For example, a structural abnormality found on physical exam, such as a tight muscle or a rib that is slightly out of place, may be due to a minor trauma or just improper posture in front of the computer. However, it may also be due to irritation caused by a cancer or inflamed organ deep within the body. The Osteopathic therapist is trained to tell the difference and is well versed in ways to treat the underlying cause and promote overall health.

These simple techniques can make a difference!
- Begin by gently massaging any lumps within the breasts for 10 minutes.
- Then press and knead the center of the breastbone between the nipples. This is acupuncture point Shan Zhong (Con�ception Vessel 17). It regulates all the qi in the body and especially chest and breast qi. It also calms the spirit. Do this 100-200 times.
- Next, knead the underarms with the tips of the fingers of opposite hand, first one underarm and then the other. Do this 100 times on each side. Three important acupuncture channels or meridians flow through this area under the arm and it is also an important area for lymphatic drainage. Then push the breasts with both palms simultaneously. Push lightly from every side of the breasts towards the nipples for two or three minutes on each side.
- Rub the breasts lightly in circles. First rub the circles from the outside to the inside. Then reverse directions and rub from inside to outside. Repeat this movement until the breasts feel warm.
- Rub the sides of the chest from the armpits downward to the center of the upper abdomen. Do this until these areas feel warm.
- Finally, rub the abdomen in a circle in a clockwise direction around the navel for approximately five minutes.
