Osteopathy aims to restore the body's natural balance to promote self-regulation. It is a form of manual therapy that views the body as an integrated functional unit, where each part is interconnected. Osteopaths seek to understand the relationships between the body's various systems and address the underlying causes of disorders, rather than just the symptoms.
Manual manipulations are designed to stimulate the body's self-regulating capacity by promoting blood circulation, releasing muscle tension, and facilitating optimal functioning of the body's systems. Osteopaths can also provide advice on posture and general lifestyle.
Osteopathy is suitable for a wide variety of people and can be beneficial for different age groups and situations. Here are the main types of people who consult an osteopath:
-
Babies and children
-
Pregnant women
-
Athletes
-
Adults
-
Seniors
-
People in rehabilitation
In short, osteopathy is for anyone seeking to improve their physical well-being, regardless of their life situation.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy, also known as Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, is a field of physiotherapy aimed at strengthening and rehabilitating the pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor physiotherapy treats various health problems related to the pelvic floor, such as urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (when the pelvic organs descend from their normal position), chronic pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and postpartum-related problems. It can also be used preventatively during pregnancy to strengthen the pelvic floor
muscles and reduce the risk of postpartum complications.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy techniques may include muscle strengthening exercises, internal pelvic floor relaxation, stretching, and advice on lifestyle habits and posture that affect pelvic floor health.
Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on the treatment of vestibular disorders, which affect balance and coordination. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, is responsible for regulating balance, perceiving body position, and maintaining stable gaze during movement.
Vestibular disorders can be caused by various conditions, including labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, Ménière's disease, head injuries, tumors, and other inner ear disorders. Common symptoms include dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, balance disturbances and vision problems related to movement.
Techniques used may include vestibular rehabilitation exercises, canal repositioning maneuvers (to treat benign positional vertigo), eye movement adaptation therapy (to improve coordination between eye and vestibular movements), desensitization to vestibular stimuli, and management of triggers of vestibular symptoms.
