​

Osteopathy is a manual therapy that started in the 19th century in the United States, his founder Dr. Andrew Taylor STILL , emphasized : the importance of preventive medicine, eating healthy and stay in shape : "When all the body parts are in good condition, we are healthy. When they are not, it's the disease. The job of the osteopath is to restore a normal situation in the body from an abnormal situation; it will result health. "

 

The body is a complex mechanism which undergoes disorders over time, with life trauma...sports injuries, postural habits, repetitive professional gestures, birth trauma for the mother or the child, stress, etc ... Gradually, some joints lose their original mobility, osteopathy works by restoring the lost mobility . Osteopathy considers the individual as a whole, based on a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology .

The best results are obtained for "functional" problems, meaning the pain from which we do not find the cause, but which interfere sometimes for very long time in patients' lives. The pains are directly related to the musculoskeletal system :spinal pain, rib pain, joint pain, tendonitis, muscle pain and trauma. Headache, cephalgia, migraine and dizziness can respond positively to the osteopathic treatment.

Health is total freedom of all our tissues. Any mobility restriction of one of them causes a pathology. Osteopathy is the art of restoring tissue freedom when there is restriction of mobility.
