Vladislav Dobrynin

Qualifications and experience

• I am studying at the European School of Osteopathy (UK).
• I also take part in the school’s seminars in Yerevan as an interpreter. This lets me explore osteopathic theory and practice in greater depth and work directly with the teachers.
• I run an individual practice using gentle manual techniques. I continually deepen my knowledge of anatomy, physiology and osteopathic approaches to working with the body.

Areas of practice

• Pain, muscle tension and stiffness, including discomfort in the back, neck, lower back and shoulder girdle, and restricted mobility.
• Stress and emotional tension, working with physical signs of stress and helping you relax.
• Recovery after physical exertion, with work to reduce muscle tension and improve mobility and general wellbeing.
• Pelvic floor work for men and women, using gentle techniques and breathing practices to integrate the pelvic floor with whole-body movement. This includes addressing discomfort around the sacrum and lower back and supporting postpartum recovery.
• Working with children: I see children aged 6 and over.

How does a session work?

A session lasts about an hour.

At the beginning of the session, we talk about what is troubling you. I will ask questions to better understand your particular situation.

Please bring the results of any recent investigations, if you have them. You do not need to bring anything else in particular.

Then, if you are comfortable doing so, I will ask you to undress to your underwear. This will help me gather more information about possible dysfunctions.

We will then do a few simple tests. I will ask you to repeat some movements to assess mobility and identify problem areas.

Hands-on treatment follows. At the end of the session, I may suggest exercises to help maintain the results and prevent similar problems.

After the session

For about three days after the session, it is important not to overload your body. Do not move wardrobes, do a heavy workout or start difficult conversations. You may want to, as there can be a strong surge of energy. Sometimes the opposite happens and you feel very sleepy or hungry. In that case, it is better to do just that.
