Resistencia Osteopathic Practice

by Heather Navarette-Linnemeyer

I had an awesome time with Gabriel, an osteopath with a private practice in Resistencia. He has the capacity to work with nine patients in four different rooms. Some patients he hooks up to magnets, others with heat lamps while they patiently await him to come and do some manual manipulation. He juggles quite a lot of people at the same time.

In the photo, he is treating a woman who was having severe neck pain. He showed me some of his techniques and then invited me to work on her as he observed and asked questions about my style of treatment. He was very enjoyable to work with - enthusiastic and open to new ideas. He works a lot with professional athletes, and has traveled to other countries with the rugby team as their personal therapist.

He invited me to come back and work in his clinic anytime I am in Argentina, and he is just the kind of person I love to work with - extremely capable and personable.

I worked with this woman for a while as he ran to other rooms treating patients, she got a lot of relief and was very grateful for our time with her. Gabriel then showed me how to adjust a left sacral torsion as well as the illium. He uses his body to help position the patient before he adjusts them. He definitly has to work fast with nine people waiting on the tables for him to come treat them. He has a separate room for three women at a time as well as a room just for men.

I had a lot of fun working with Gabriel - I hope I can come back some day to take him up on his offer.
