Dr. Yury Mejías Calvo

My name is Yury Mejías Calvo. I am a licensed physiotherapist from the University of Costa Rica and hold a CO in Osteopathy from the School of Osteopathy in Madrid.

From a very young age, I have had a restless mind and restless feet, a very curious gaze, and hands that learned to share, accompany, embrace, and give love. I have always wanted to absorb what every place, every person, and every circumstance could offer me.

I came from a very challenging environment because of the region where I lived, which from a very early age pushed me to overcome myself and constantly seek more. I went to Cuba to study medicine, but I was left with the feeling that I wanted more than the traditional context, so I returned in search of new paths. I began studying Physiotherapy and Psychology in Costa Rica, but I still questioned the foundations and structures commonly taught in academia. Then, just as I was about to give up, I discovered Osteopathy. It felt like a turning point in the heart, like recognizing yourself and recognizing your way of relating to life itself and the outside world.

The philosophy of osteopathy goes beyond a symposium of techniques for each structure. Its art lies in the capacity for integration, analysis, creation, and sensation. Each osteopath is different, and each contributes their own style, essence, and knowledge according to where their steps have taken them. It is materialization, a tool for connection with material and spiritual life, a return to the inner sanctuary of one's own being. It is learning to accompany another person's journey without judgment or prejudice, offering the necessary tools so they can heal themselves, learn their own functioning, and begin their own path of self-healing.

And then, everything made sense. Nothing had been in vain. I was able to draw from medicine, psychology, physiotherapy, and all the tools I learned along the way: biodecoding, orthomolecular medicine and nutrition, biomagnetism, myofascial techniques, neural therapy, neurolinguistic programming, among others. This does not necessarily mean that I practice all of them, but simply knowing a little more about them gives me the ability not to think about where I end and the other begins, but to begin collaborating in conscious teams, because even referring a patient requires judgment and assertiveness.

In recent years, I have met people with all these abilities, people who have joined this path of asking, "How can we do this better?" Together, we have been able to create ways of working according to what each person needs, not in the superficial way many call "integral." Integration means cooperation, consultation, dreaming together, creating together ways to contribute to each patient who invests their time and resources, not only financial but also emotional, to courageously take their health into their own hands and take responsibility for it. The best therapist or healthcare provider is of little use if the patient does not awaken their consciousness and assume their life, health, and happiness in their own hands.

We all have a before and an after. Mine, as I said, began a long time ago, but it was only around five years ago, during a "dark night of the soul" and while walking my own path, that I immersed myself in my own search through mindfulness meditation, sleep hygiene, conscious breathing, mental control, and my strongest journey: my mouth. This has led me to work with many wonderful dentists, from whom I have learned so much, knowing that even in osteopathy the mouth has a privileged and fundamental role in understanding part of the mysteries of the body. It has been one of the fundamental cornerstones of the Libertad Method.

The Libertad Method was born from my soul, grateful to all those wonderful professionals who take "integrality" to another level. Every resource, every vision, every "specialty," as it is often called, is appreciated. It was born to accompany the person, to see them beyond a medical file or diagnosis. The patient is re-educated and invited to assume responsibility and return to their inner sanctuary, a path that involves self-love, habit changes, mental, physical, and spiritual control and healing, and of course, a team of colleagues committed to the real concept of health, growing day by day and always seeking what is best for the patient. This does not mean we hold the absolute truth, but that we are willing to seek the patient's most balanced state and their own truth, so they may feel a restorative embrace and finally find their center, their axis, and the strength to clarify their goals and move toward them.
