Shifalive — osteopathy in Almaty

An osteopathy session for adults at Shifalive costs 30 000 ₸ and lasts 90 minutes, once a week. Children's osteopathy (0–11 years) costs 15 000 ₸, teenage (12–17 years) 20 000 ₸. Diagnosis and examination are already included in the price of the visit, there is nothing to pay separately

Massage relaxes the muscles, while osteopathy works with the cause of the problem in the whole body. The osteopath gently restores tissue mobility, blood flow and the work of the nervous system instead of simply releasing tension

Yes, children's health is one of the practice's areas. The osteopath works with delayed speech and psycho-speech development, the consequences of birth trauma, restless sleep and colic in babies, posture questions in teenagers. A children's visit (0–11 years) costs 15 000 ₸, a teenage one (12–17 years) 20 000 ₸, and lasts 40–60 minutes once a week

It is not only allowed but useful. For mothers-to-be there is a separate course of three sessions for 90 000 ₸: it prepares the body for birth and takes the load off the spine. Osteopathy also helps while preparing for pregnancy

At the first visit the osteopath examines the whole body, finds the cause and shows what can be corrected and how long it will take — the diagnosis is included in the price. To hold the time the practice asks for a deposit of 10 000 ₸ for adults and 5 000 ₸ for children: it counts in full towards the price of the visit, nothing is paid on top

Osteopathy is a gentle method with almost no contraindications. It is not used with cancer, tuberculosis and acute conditions; everything else the osteopath checks at the examination. The practice sees women and children — that is its specialisation
