Osteopathy is a natural medicine or holistic in approach to the human body. Through the gentle sense of touch it seeks to find imbalances or restrictions that create illness or diseases. This is done manually by applying pressure, manipulating or gently massaging key areas of the human body. This restores balance and harmony to the body which promotes health.
This holistic approach of Osteopathy emphasizes the treatment of the human body as a whole. The osteopath's hands are her tools, her training allows her to examine areas of the human body using a highly developed sense of touch in order to identify the specific problem areas, then gently restore them back into health and balance. Treated are the mansculo-skeletal (joints - muscles - tendons - nerves - fluids), visceral (stomach - liver - kidneys - uterus, etc), as well as internal and external cranial fascias.
This soft approach of osteopathy makes it possible to treat all ages from the newborns (regurgitation - colics - toricolis) to the aged, in a very safe and gentle way.
