Osteopathy for better living
Osteopathy offers a significant improvement in quality of life. This simple fact explains why this therapeutic approach, which originated in the United States at the end of the 19th century, has become so popular worldwide. It is now practised in many countries on every continent.
Living a long life is certainly desirable, but living a long life in good health is even more precious! The human body, our most precious asset, requires regular attention and appropriate maintenance to ensure optimal functioning in the short, medium and, above all, long term.
EXPERTS IN HOW THE HUMAN BODY WORKS
Who are osteopaths ?
Osteopaths have in-depth expertise in the overall functioning of the human body. They are familiar with the minutest details of its workings and have mastered most of its adjustments.
The work of osteopaths is often compared to that of watchmakers. They strive to detect, adjust and repair the body’s faulty cogs, including those which, by influencing other mechanisms, can cause disturbances at a distance, sometimes far from the point of origin.
What's the objective?
The aim of this approach is to restore balance to the human body, and even to get closer to it rather than further away from it. For a better quality of life and optimal longevity, it is essential to maintain this balance.
Living in good health is indeed a question of balance on several levels: physical balance, encompassing both the biological dimension and posture, as well as mobility, and mental balance, including emotional stability.
for all ages, but...
Osteopathy is suitable for all stages of life, from infancy to old age. It also concerns expectant mothers, children of all ages, teenagers, as well as middle-aged men and women. However, it is important to stress that osteopathy does not claim to be a solution for every ailment. It cannot treat degenerative, genetic or infectious diseases.
There are also contraindications to osteopathy. Osteopaths work closely with many health professionals and do not hesitate to refer their patients to these experts when necessary. They are fully aware of the limits of their practice, and are always mindful of their patients’ well-being.
