David Bennett
Registered Osteopath
David completed 5 years of Osteopathic training at
RMIT University in 1998.
Previous to this he spent 2 years studying Architecture
where he found both mystery and inspiration in architectural
space and form: unaware at the time, this period formed
the seed of what was to be his future love for Osteopathy.
He then completed an Economics degree at UWA. This training
offered a disciplined and systematic approach to viewing
the world. This clarity of definition has been of great
value whilst navigating Cranial Osteopathy, a highly
intuitive field of healthcare.
Since graduation David has undertaken ongoing post-graduate
studies in the Cranial Field and Biodynamics of Cranial
Osteopathy; both in Australia, New Zealand and the United
States.
Dr Andrew Taylor Still (The Founder of Osteopathy,
1874) referred to the “Architect”, the intelligence
within Nature that designed and created the human form.
Like a well designed building, the human body generates
a natural sense of vitality and well-being when all
elements are in harmony and accordance with the original
blue print. When life's traumas result in the body deviating
from this intended design, it ceases to provide a peaceful
environment conducive to health.
The body, regardless of how unbalanced it may be,
always strives towards its point of origin: the blue-print
of its conception. It is this internal drive that provides
the therapeutic force for change. Osteopathy in the
Cranial Field is a method of treatment that utilises
the body's own self-healing potential to resolve past
trauma. The outcome of treatment is a return to one's
natural state of happiness, balance, vitality and wellbeing.
David enjoys meeting people from all walks of life,
particularly those who are awake (or open in potential)
to their own divine nature. At the core of our being
is the foundation of our health; an animating principle
that initiates and sustains life.
David has a special interest in treating families who
are planning a pregnancy: that is 'tending to the soil"
in which future growth will occur. Of enormous value
also is treatment during pregnancy itself and also helping
babies resolve any internal strain associated with the
birthing process. Preconception care and treatment during
a pregnancy provides a foundation for genuine preventative
healthcare. This is David's absolute passion!!
Prevention is better than cure.
