These dysfunctions can lead to imbalances in health.

Addressing adults and children from birth, osteopathy recognizes that disorders may originate from areas distant from the symptoms. The osteopath utilizes expertise in anatomy and physiology to identify the underlying causes of problems, adopting a holistic approach that takes into account the influence of different parts of the body on one another.

The practitioner assesses tensions, imbalances, and dysfunctions using mobility tests, postural observations, and precise palpation, which remains painless. They exclusively use their hands for maneuvers that may seem unusual.

Osteopathy treats all systems of the body: locomotor, digestive, cardiorespiratory, reproductive, nervous, and vascular. It can be applied to the spine, skull, thoracic cage, abdomen, pelvis, and limbs, with techniques varying according to the targeted areas.

By promoting rebalancing, osteopathy acts as both a curative and preventive therapy. It complements allopathic medicine, which remains the priority for treating certain pathologies and traumas.
