Osteopath: what cares

The osteopath is a wellness professional, who acts through physical manipulations, without intervening with drugs.

According to osteopathy, the body has the innate ability to rebalance itself and the symptom is the consequence of this effort.

Pain must then be investigated to understand its causes, and never suppressed. Instead, it is necessary to listen to him, to arrive at the primary causes that triggered him.

Osteopathy is a medical and holistic discipline that considers the human being as a whole, and as such approaches it with respect and delicacy.

An osteopathic treatment consists of manipulations on joints, muscles, and viscera.

Depending on the districts where osteopathy is involved, it can be divided into:

> sacral skull : it acts on the natural movement of the encephalorachidian liquor, a liquid that from the brain creates a movement that propagates to the whole body, influencing its well-being;

> visceral : acts on the internal organs, gently, working on the abdomen and back ;

> structural : it mainly deals with joints, bones, and ligaments .
