Osteopathy refers to the manipulation of muscle and bone tissue using the hands.
Theosteopath is the person who manipulates the body using various techniques with the aim of relieving it of any ailments it may present, and thus restoring movement to the body.
Loss of mobility in joints, muscles, ligaments or viscera may be a symptom of organ failure.
By stimulating different areas of the body with the hands,osteopathy helps to improve the functions of the body system and its structures.
When the whole system is working well, the body is able to regulate itself.
It's normal for theosteopath to ask you about your general state of health and the reason for your consultation.
With an overview, the professional will identify possible causes, thus defining the most appropriate treatment.
During an osteopathic assessment session, the professional will observe your body. You may be asked to remain in your underwear for a better assessment.
It's all about observing how the different muscular areas of your body relax or tighten as you move, and also how you sway.
Duringosteopathy sessions, you'll also need to remove your jewelry, watch and glasses.
As this is a global approach, the professional can intervene in areas that you might consider unrelated at first glance.
