Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach that aims to ease muscle tension and improve mobility. At Voder Studio in central Sofia, sessions with Yulia Ruseva are adapted to your symptoms, daily life and comfort.
At your first visit, we will talk about what is bothering you, when it started and which movements you find difficult. We will discuss what you would like to improve and how the session could proceed. If you are unsure whether osteopathy is right for you, you can call me to talk about your situation.
The most common zones for osteopathy
Back and lower back
If your back feels tense or stiff, tell me when it happens and how it limits you. The aim is to help you feel more comfortable with the movements that matter to you.
Joints
If your shoulders, hips or knees feel stiff, we discuss which movements are difficult. Knowing about previous injuries, operations and diagnoses helps us adapt the approach.
Neck and shoulders
Tension in your neck and shoulders can make it harder to turn your head or sit comfortably at a desk. Tell me what brings it on and whether you have any other symptoms.
Face and jaw
Tell me if your jaw feels tense, stiff or uncomfortable. We will discuss what you hope to gain from the session and whether advice from another specialist would also be helpful.
Pelvis and hips
Discomfort in this area may be noticeable when walking, standing up or sitting for a long time. We discuss the movements you find difficult and what you would like to improve.
Abdominal area
Abdominal discomfort can have different causes. Tell me about your symptoms and whether you have already discussed them with a doctor so we can consider whether a session is suitable.
Chest
The focus here is on tension and a feeling of stiffness around the chest. If you have difficulty breathing, you need a medical assessment first.
How could a session help you?
The aim is to help you feel more comfortable and move more easily. We begin by discussing what matters to you, such as turning your neck more freely, easing back tension or feeling more comfortable with everyday movements.
Possible relief from muscle tension
Less stiffness
More comfortable movement

Following your progress between visits
