Our body is made up of countless structures, all of them directly or indirectly related to each other and influence each other. If the interaction between muscles, bones, organs, nerves and other structures is altered, the body becomes unbalanced and discomfort occurs.
The goal of physiotherapy is to eliminate dysfunctions and associated pain. For example, with strengthening exercises, muscle stretching or joint mobilization. Furthermore, incorrect postures can be prevented preventively through postural and muscular techniques.
Instead, osteopathy is a holistic treatment that treats all the structures of the body as a unit. Dysfunctions, such as blockages of the skeletal system or problems in the visceral (internal organs) and craniosacral (skull-spine-sacrum) area, are located and treated.
“Finding health should be the concern of an osteopath, anyone can find illness.”
A.T. Still
