DEFINITION

Osteopathic concepts focus on the following principles:

- In the pathological process, the body strives to self-regulate and self-heal through a complex system of balance.

- The human body is a unit in which structure and function are mutually and reciprocally interdependent.

Sensible treatment is based on this philosophy and its principles. It emphasises the concept of structure-function in its diagnostic and therapeutic approach using manual means.

Philosophie

The aim of Osteopathy is to diagnose and treat restrictions in the mobility of anatomical structures, which can hinder the body in its physiological functions. These restrictions of mobility, which impede the flow of information, are found in all systems of the body, in the musculoskeletal, digestive, vascular, nervous and excretory systems.

With his or her hands - both an analytical instrument and the main therapeutic tool - the osteopath restores movement to the tissues of these different systems and restores mobility to the joints, muscles, fascia and dynamics to the fluids.

It is a holistic, first-line treatment of the human body in which the practitioner integrates the reason for consultation.

The field of application of osteopathic medicine includes all stages of human life, from the newborn to the elderly, from the pregnant woman to the top athlete.
