Our approach
Accompany the body towards its natural balance.
Working mode
Wanting to remain in line with the osteopathic philosophy which advocates self-regulation and self-healing of the patient, we seek first and foremost to stimulate or reactivate certain bodily functions.
During the therapeutic phase we create with our hands a fixed point (fulcrum) in order to encourage the body to reorganize itself and seek a new balance. Subsequently the tissues need a few days (2-3) to finalize the therapeutic process.
Where possible we refrain from using joint manipulations, known as 'cracks-cracks', but in very rare cases they are the only and best solution. In these cases we inform the patients before the manipulation and ask for their consent.
It is not the osteopath who is the healer, but rather the patient's body!
The Pillars of Osteopathy
On June 22, 1874, Still officially declared himself an osteopath. His new approach, osteopathy, was based on three major philosophical pillars:
-
First axiom: the general immunity of the organism in relation to the said disease.
The primary goal of osteopathy was to treat patients suffering from infectious diseases. The treatment seeks to stimulate the patient's immune system.
In Europe, this rule has been completely replaced by osteoarticular problems.
-
Second axiom: Spinal injury is the most important factor causing disease.
The spine and its surrounding structures contain the central nervous system, major arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems, cerebrospinal fluid, major blood cell production centers, and visceral, ligamentous, and muscular anchorages.
-
Third axiom: the law that the artery is superior.
By ensuring the free circulation of arterial blood, the body's cells receive all the immune, nutritional, mineral, fluid and hormonal elements necessary to maintain or restore health.
