Osteopathy

 What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a manual approach whose objective is to restore the function of the structures and systems of the human body in order to optimize its capacity of self-regulation.

This practice is based on an in-depth knowledge of health sciences and the interactions that are specific to the body's balance.

Thanks to this fine and precise palpation, a complete and global evaluation allows to investigate the cause of neuro-musculo-skeletal, visceral and cranial dysfunctions. Each osteopathic treatment is individualized.
