What is osteopathy

Osteopathy is a manual treatment method in which complaints are approached from the body as a whole. The osteopath looks for loss of movement in the entire body that influences your complaints. Complaints are handled from three systems: 

 

• Parietal System: The Muscles, Bones and Joints. 

• Visceral System: The internal organs with associated connective tissue structures. 

• Craniosacral System: The Skull and Nervous System. 

 

A balance between these three systems is necessary for the proper functioning of your body. This balance can be disrupted by, for example, stress, an adhesion or a vertebral blockage. By means of manual techniques and advice, these systems can be optimized and the balance can be restored.
