Osteopathy
Discover the power of Osteopathy with our professional service.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual therapy aimed at detecting and treating any restrictions related to mobility. Any loss of mobility in the joints, muscles, ligaments, or internal organs can lead to symptoms, pain, or dysfunction of an organ. The osteopath’s goal is to restore the mechanical harmony of the body as a whole, relying on anatomy, physiology, and human biomechanics.
At Physiobalance, in addition to our regular clientele, we treat newborns for issues such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, excessive crying, motor delay, facial asymmetry, constipation, flat head syndrome, sleep disorders, and more. We also treat pregnant women and those in the postpartum period to relieve any discomforts that arise during and after pregnancy.
Who is osteopathy for?
Preventive as well as curative, osteopathy is suitable for all age groups. This therapy addresses all systems of the body, as long as there are no medical contraindications.
Reasons for consulting an osteopath may include:
- Disorders of the musculoskeletal system: sprains, tendinitis, lumbago, lower back pain, back pain, neck pain, torticollis, intercostal pain, shoulder pain, pubalgia, etc.
