Osteopathy is a manual examination and treatment method of the integrated musculoskeletal, visceral, vascular, neural, lymphatic and craniosacral systems.
The manual Osteopath examines and treats manually the mobility of all these systems and looks for limitations in mobility that could be linked to the patient’s complaint.
Osteopaths make use of an extensive practical knowledge of anatomy, physiology, neurology and pathology. By treating mobility of the musculoskeletal, the vascular, neurological and fascial system in an integrated and structural way, patients healing capacities increase dramatically.
The principles of Osteopathy are:
- The body is a unit, and the person represents a combination of body, mind and spirit.
- The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.
- Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
- Rational treatment is based on an understanding of these principles: body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function
