What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on the cause of physical complaints. treatment is carried out by hands, without equipment or medication. The starting point is that the body has a strong self-healing capacity, but that this can be disrupted by blockages or restrictions in movement in muscles, joints, connective tissue or organs.
Osteopaths are experts in investigating the mobility and interrelation of all tissues in the body. The treatment focuses on improving mobility so that complaints such as back, neck, head or stomach pain can decrease or disappear. Sometimes the cause of a complaint is clear: a fall, surgery, overload or, for example, childbirth. But the reason is often less clear, or complaints have been going on for a long time without a clear explanation. That is precisely when many people opt for osteopathy. Osteopathy is not only used for acute or chronic complaints, but also preventively. By keeping the body in balance, recurring complaints can be prevented. does that mean
Soms is de oorzaak van een klacht duidelijk: een val, een operatie, overbelasting of bijvoorbeeld een bevalling. Maar vaak is de aanleiding minder helder, of spelen klachten al langer zonder duidelijke verklaring. Juist dan kiezen veel mensen voor osteopathie.
Osteopathie wordt niet alleen ingezet bij acute of chronische klachten, maar ook preventief. Door het lichaam in evenwicht te houden, kunnen terugkerende klachten worden voorkomen.
What does an osteopath do?
The osteopath 'reads' the body and looks for blockages and movement restrictions that can cause symptoms. Once these restrictions have been identified, they are treated with techniques. Movement is very important throughout the body. This goes beyond just visible movements such as walking, throwing or stooping. Tissues, muscles and bones must also be able to move freely This also applies to internal organs and body fluids such as blood and lymph. In short, all tissues in the body need the right mobility to function properly. The osteopath restores freedom of movement at 3 levels:
De osteopaat ‘leest’ het lichaam en zoekt naar blokkades en bewegingsbeperkingen die klachten kunnen veroorzaken. Zodra deze beperkingen in kaart zijn gebracht, worden deze met specifieke technieken behandeld.
De osteopaat herstelt de bewegingsvrijheid op 3 niveaus:
- The musculoskeletal system, including the spine, joints, and muscles.
- The organ system, such as the liver, intestines, bladder, and lungs.
- Skull, cranial membranes, and nervous system
By restoring mobility, the osteopath stimulates the body's self-healing capacity.
