Why osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual therapy, included in a medical environment, that re-establishes the balance of your body and that has excellent results, at all ages, since the 1st treatment.
Without using chemical drugs, it treats mobility losses, based on the symptoms described and presented by the patient.
During this consultation, the osteopathic physician will discuss the patient's health problems, listen, and take case notes.
The osteopathic physician will physically examine the patient, and assess the health of the joints, ligaments, and tissues, using a highly trained technique of touch known as palpation.
The osteopathic physician will propose a treatment plan to meet the patient's needs.
This will include the number of sessions likely to be needed, although this number may change depending on the patient's response to treatment.
Osteopathy emphasizes self-healing, so an osteopathic physician may also advise dietary changes, home exercise programs, and lifestyle adjustments.
The manipulation and hands-on work are gentle, but due to the physical work being carried out, a patient of osteopathy may feel sore for the first 24 to 48 hours.
Health and well-being are waiting for you!
