Osteopathy
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual approach aimed at restoring the normal functions of the musculoskeletal, visceral, and cranial systems in case of problems with the body's homeostasis. It involves enabling the body to regain its self-regulating capacity, allowing it to function normally.
Who can benefit from Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is for everyone, from babies and adolescents to adults and elderly people.
Why consult in Osteopathy?
You can consult for prevention, sleep problems, torticollis, back injuries, preparation for childbirth or post-childbirth, digestive or respiratory problems. If you experience any of these issues, osteopathy is for you. Here are more details about different client types.
Osteopathy for Adults and Adolescents
If you suffer from limitations and/or discomfort that restrict your function, osteopathy is for you. The holistic approach allows us to work on large tension chains that may have been present for a long time and manifest in different ways in the body. The gentle approach helps to release deep-seated tensions in your muscles and joints, improving your overall mobility. The osteopath can also ensure preventive follow-up to stay mobile and avoid daily discomforts.
Osteopathy for Pregnant Women
A personalized follow-up in osteopathy allows you to go through different trimesters more harmoniously. Preparation for childbirth helps maximize the chances of a smooth delivery. Postnatal follow-up helps facilitate organ repositioning and relieve the many tensions created by childbirth. Osteopathy can also help release scar tissue 6 weeks and beyond after a cesarean section.
Pediatric Osteopathy
Increasingly referred by doctors and pediatricians, pediatric osteopathy has several areas of expertise. We can follow your children from birth to help with their mobility and ensure symmetrical and harmonious motor development. Osteopathy can help with plagiocephaly (flat head), torticollis (neck rotation preference), digestive discomfort (gas, bloating, reflux), breastfeeding issues (nipple injury, difficulty feeding on one side), and motor development problems. The osteopath can also ensure preventive follow-up from birth to ensure harmonious growth and comfort for your baby.
Visceral Osteopathy
If you suffer from digestive discomfort, irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerance, gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea not associated with disease, osteopathy is for you. Through adapted techniques, the osteopath works mechanically to restore mobility to the organs, optimizing their function and reducing your digestive and gastric discomforts.
Sports Osteopathy
Osteopathy is the preventive treatment of choice for both recreational and competitive athletes. The osteopath ensures that all body structures are mobile and aligned to minimize injury risk and optimize performance. A structural dysfunction can disrupt a movement necessary for sport, and the osteopath can help release these limiting blockages.
How does a session work?
First, there is an inquiry about the person, discomforts, changes in routine, or general complaints about their condition. The osteopath then tries to determine the source of the problem through a comprehensive physical evaluation. By establishing a personalized intervention plan, the osteopath can then relieve the issues in the following sessions. Osteopathy techniques are precise and safe for you.
