As an osteopath, I approach every complaint by searching for the primary dysfunction\u2014the factor that caused the complaint and the reason why the body is unable to heal itself. In this case, my attention focused on the left kidney and the surrounding fascial structures (connective tissue). There, I found significant tension which, according to my analysis, was the cause of the knee complaint via a descending chain. <\/p>\n
Upon further inquiry, it appeared there was a significant injury in his medical history. As an avid equestrian, he had overturned with a carriage two years ago, during which the seat struck him in his left side. Recently, nine months ago, he had fallen with the carriage again, but this time the impact was more on his back. <\/p>\n
After a mild visceral manipulation of the kidney, the fascial tension normalized quite quickly. Both the back complaints and the knee complaint improved within a few weeks. <\/p>\n
This is a fine example of how optimizing the body’s self-healing capacity can contribute to recovery, by not only treating the symptoms but also addressing the underlying cause.<\/p>\n
