Osteopathy is a naturopathic tool used to maintain, restore or improve people's health.
Performing protocols of cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacrum, iliac, hips, knee and foot.
- Observation.
- Palpation of the atlanto-occipital and bone area.
- Pathological and mechanical tests corresponding to the area to be balanced.
- Mobility test, verifies if the person reaches the optimal range of mobility and can be active (the person does it alone) or passive (when they have hypomobility).
- Neurological tests (strength).
- Balancing techniques (post-isometric relaxation and stretching).
- Lateral combination.
- Thrust normalization techniques.
Global Osteopathy Techniques
They focus on treating the body as a functional unit, rather than focusing on just one specific area.
These techniques can include gentle manipulations, joint mobilizations, myofascial release, craniosacral techniques, visceral techniques and other approaches that affect the body as a whole.
Main Benefits of Global Osteopathy Techniques:
- Improves posture and body balance.
- By working on the whole body, postural alignment and the relationship between different structures (spine, pelvis, skull, etc.) are restored.
- Chronic pain reduction.
- These techniques help release accumulated tension in deep tissues, which relieves persistent pain in areas such as the back, neck or joints.
- Stimulation of the autonomic nervous system.
- Craniosacral or visceral techniques can have a regulating effect on the nervous system, promoting a state of relaxation and balance.
- Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage.
- By releasing restrictions in tissues and fasciae, better blood and lymphatic circulation is facilitated, which can improve tissue oxygenation and the elimination of toxins.
- Support for the digestive and visceral system.
- Visceral techniques help improve the mobility and functionality of organs such as the stomach, liver, intestines, which can alleviate problems such as constipation or reflux.
- Strengthening the immune system.
- By improving lymphatic system function and reducing stress, the body's ability to defend itself against disease is enhanced.
- Promoting general well-being and stress management.
- Many global techniques induce a deep relaxation response, which helps reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and increase overall well-being.
- Injury prevention.
- By optimizing biomechanical function and mobility throughout the body, compensations and tensions that could lead to injury are reduced.
Contraindications:
- Recent fractures.
- Bone instability.
- Inflammations.
- Generalized infections (viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.)-.
- Cardiovascular alterations.
- Recent surgeries.
- Serious diseases.
- Cancer.
- Immune system disorders.
- Metabolic diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes.
- Brain aneurysm.
- Suspicion of acute peritonitis.
- Acute appendicitis.
- Recent head injuries.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing this treatment to ensure that it is safe and beneficial for your individual case.
