By appointment at the practice
Osteopathy is a method of care that can be used to treat mobility restrictions that can come from the differents structures in the human body. Any loss of mobility of the joints, muscles, ligaments or bowls can cause an inbalance in the state of health. Osteopathy prevents and treats many physical problems, but also acts on the nervous, functional and psychological.
The peculiarity of this therapeutic method is based on a global approach of the individual, as well as a solid knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
​
​The osteopathic diagnosis is based on a thorough examination of the patient as well as his medical history in order to:
​
-
Determine the indications and contraindications for osteopathic treatment, priority being given to the safety of the patient,
-
Appreciate the patient as a whole,
-
Trace his journey of history of his pain and find the cause.
The patient's daily life is also important. His habitual postures, the impact of his job, the stresses encountered, the ergonomics of his workstation, his usual postures ... are all causes of pain. So the osteopath will provide a tailored therapeutic response to understand, treat and help the problems he may encounter.
