Osteopathy at Sanaprana | Healing Body, Mind & Spirit in Tulum

Sanaprana Tulum Osteopathy

A THERAPY ROOTED IN SCIENCE AND SPIRIT

Osteopathy was born in 1874 when frontier doctor Andrew Taylor Still looked at the body differently. Instead of chasing symptoms, he asked:

What if health is already inside us, waiting to flow freely again?

His answer became a whole new branch of medicine. He defined osteopathy as:

“The science of treating disease manually by the adjustment of all parts and organs to their natural relations.”

And he reminded us:

“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”

Still lived among the Shawnee Nation in Kansas, learned their language, and absorbed Indigenous healing traditions that saw the person as body, mind, and spirit woven together. That’s why osteopathy never treats “just a bad back” — it restores the whole human being.

OSTEOPATHY AND CHIROPRACTIC: THE SAME ROOT

Did you know? Chiropractic actually came out of osteopathy. Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, studied with Still’s early students. What many people now associate with “spinal adjustments” started with osteopathy’s deeper philosophy: restore alignment, support the body’s natural healing, and respect the nervous system.

Where chiropractic became more bone-focused, osteopathy remained whole-person focused — weaving together muscles, joints, fluids, nerves, emotions, and spirit.

WHY PEOPLE COME TO OSTEOPATHY AT SANAPRANA

Here in Tulum, people walk through our door with stories like these:

✨ “I came in with stress, jaw pain, and migraines. Jelena’s osteopathy helped me feel at ease in my own skin again.” – Simon F.

✨ “After months of shoulder pain, one session opened my breath and gave me back my mobility.” – Marta G.

✨ “It wasn’t just my body that shifted… I walked out more connected to myself.” – Review from Google

That’s the essence of osteopathy: listening deeply, adjusting gently, and guiding your nervous system back to balance — so you become part of your own healing.

HOW OSTEOPATHY WORKS

Osteopathy blends science and tradition.

• Soft tissue + joint mobility → Free movement, reduce pain

• Nervous system regulation → Calm stress, reset patterns

• Circulation & lymph flow → “The rule of the artery” — circulation supports life

• Holistic diagnosis → Not just what hurts but what is the root cause in your human experience?

• 
  

Modern research confirms what Still intuited: structure and function are inseparable. When we restore balance in one, the other thrives.

MY SANAPRANA APPROACH

Healing That Listens Deeply

In your first session with me at Sanaprana, we don’t rush. We take the time — almost two hours — to listen. Your stories, your habits, your activities, your injuries, your mindset, even your words and breath patterns — all of them hold golden nuggets. Together, we make connections that bring clarity, not judgment.

Clients often tell me, “From the moment I arrived, I felt at ease.” That’s because healing starts with being truly seen and heard.

What Makes This Work Different

After 20 years of therapeutics and yoga, I use osteopathy as a bridge between medicine and movement, body and breath, science and soul.

Sessions are never cookie-cutter. I guide you to notice how stress patterns, tension, or old injuries show up in your body — and then discover new ways to relate, move, and empower yourself with tools for daily life.

One client described it as, “Precise and effective manipulations, combined with attention and care. I left with more freedom in my body and clarity in my mind.”

Breath as the Key to Breakthroughs

We don’t need to escape the body or rely on expensive drugs to heal.We heal by going deeper inside, through the breath.

Breathing connects you to your nervous system — the gateway between stress and calm, between holding on and letting go. Once you connect there, you can access different states where stress can release — through your primal brain, your limbic system, and your logical mind.

Clients say, “I felt lighter, like tension that I carried for years had finally left me.”

A Balance of Energy & Action

There is no separation between the energy inside us and the life happening around us. Healing is balance: between giving and receiving, being and doing, acting and responding.

When we work together, I guide you into states where breath and movement reset your system. You don’t just get “treated.” You walk away with clarity, better breath, freer movement, and a deeper sense of aliveness.

As one client shared: “I not only felt better — I left with practical tools to help myself every day.”
