WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy is a manual therapy approach that aims to reduce pain, restore, and maintain mobility and balance, homeostasis, and harmony throughout the body to enable it to function better.
Osteopathy, known as back pain therapy, is not only used to treat musculoskeletal pain, but it also addresses the overall health of the body. Osteopathy can also work on digestive, neurological and cardiovascular disorders, and is an interesting option for chronic or acute pain.
The osteopath’s role is to observe your posture, body structure and movements, and uses fine palpation to detect any imbalances or tension that are causing you pain or discomfort. The osteopath then carries out manipulations to restore balance to your body.
Osteopathy is a holistic therapy practice that treats both acute problems such as sports injuries or sprains, and chronic problems such as herniated discs, joint pain, tendonitis, scoliosis, lower back pain, and perinatal pain.
Our osteopaths will guide you in your posture and advise you on your lifestyle. You will feel more relieved and lighter after a visit to one of our osteopaths.

The different osteopathic treatments
Osteopathy is for whom?
Osteopathy is for people of all ages. It meets the needs of adults, pregnant women, children and infants, the elderly, and it also meets the more specific needs of athletes.
Osteopathy or massage therapy, which one would suit me best?
There is no clear answer to this question, as it depends on the case and the situation.
Sometimes, massaging a local muscle can relieve the spasm that may be coming out, thereby improving circulation. However, when there is an underlying injury to the joint, for example, the brain will remember it even after the massage. Therefore the relief felt after a massage is only temporary. The solution to this problem is to treat the core of the problem, which is the underlying injury.
In summary, if the problem is muscular in origin, then seeing a massage therapist can help relieve this type of pain. However, if it is a deeper injury, then consulting an osteopath is recommended.
If you are experiencing discomfort or chronic pain, our osteopaths can help you treat and relieve your pain by offering effective and personalized solutions. The AquaOstéo Osteopathy Clinic is staffed by dedicated professionals who take their clients’ well-being to heart.
