Dr Ryan has developed a blended technique approach to osteopathic care that is both direct and gentle. He maintains a particular interest in disabilities, including those arising from:
- Neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Motor Neurone diseases
- Spinal injury cases including paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Post brain surgery conditions
- Stroke-related conditions
- The human being is a dynamic unit of function and possesses a range of self-regulatory mechanisms that lead to self-healing
- There is an inter-relationship between the structure and function that may be observed in every living organism
The term ‘osteopathic lesion’ was originally used to describe a localised structural fault. In more recent years, the term ‘somatic dysfunction’ has replaced this historical term. This term is in common use among a range of body therapists and is understood by the medical profession. It has been defined as the impaired or altered function of related components of the body’s muscular-skeletal framework. It includes the skeletal system, joint and muscle structures and their related vascular, lymphatic, organ and nervous system connections.
To the osteopath, areas of somatic dysfunction are characterised by:
- Hyper or hypo mobility
- Positional faults
- Pain and/or tenderness
- Muscular tension
- Reflex changes in skin and muscle including vasomotor and visceromotor change
