Osteopathic techniques
Osteopathy consists of a series of manipulative techniques aimed at restoring certain specific functions of the body. The basic assumption of osteopathy is that according to which the deformation of some skeletal sectors and the consequent interference on adjacent nerves and blood vessels are the cause of most diseases. The restoration of the body 's self - healing abilities is allowed by a manipulation of the skeleton, muscles and ligaments.
Osteopathic techniques are manual manipulative techniques which, among them, are more diversified by objective . In fact we have direct osteopathic techniques and indirect osteopathic techniques. The former are aimed at correcting the affected area and giving it the right functionality again. Almost like putting a disconnected piece back in the right place.
The indirect techniques, better known than the direct ones, work instead the opposite. They act by forcing the body, forcing it to go where it does not want, where it is not comfortable, where it is not used to being. Every osteopathic technique is characterized by being atraumatic and painless. Let's better see what are the most well-known osteopathic manipulations.

Osteopathic manipulations
Osteopathic manipulations certainly include osteo-articular manipulation, which is characterized by an impulse provided by the osteopath on the subject's body, aimed at restoring mobility. Do not think that much force is needed or that you should leverage. It's a question of precision.
Note, among osteopathic manipulations, is the technique of the sacral skull. This consists of a light touch on the cranial bones and on the vertebral column of a subject, in order to establish contact with the person's cranial sacral rhythm, to stimulate and support it. Through light manipulations, almost imperceptible to the patient, the cranial sacral massage is able to intervene on the whole organism, through the connections with the craniosacral system.
Next, we can mention, among osteopathic manipulations, the normalization of myofascial tensions, which affect muscles and fasciae. But not only. We don't just think about bones. Osteopathic manipulations also involve organs and viscera .
