Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a manual therapy which is used to detect the imbalances and mobility losses of the different structures of the human body in order to reestablish balance through specific techniques.

Osteopathy is based on an holistic vision of the human body and on the interdependence of its various systems to cure the source of the pain.

Osteopathy opens up the communication channels of the human body in order to maximize self-healing.

Osteopathy is based on a thorough knowledge of the anatomy, the biomechanics and the physiology of the human body.
