Therapeutic aims: Although every part of our body is closely connected to all the others, the body as a whole is more than the sum of all its parts. Only a holistic approach (i.e. the body considered as a whole) can thus be used to effectively recognise and cure any dysfunctions that may affect a organism as complex as the human body, in which bones, viscera, the vascular/nervous system and the psyche all merge into a harmonious whole to preserve one's well-being. The aim of osteopathy is to favour, by restoring normal function, the organism's self-healing properties.
Some indications for osteopathy:
• disorders of the spine, such as a stiff neck, backache and sciatica;
• limb disorders, such as sprains and tendonitis;
• visceral disorders, such as gastritis, reflux, colitis, menstruation-related problems, urinary incontinence and cystitis;
• disorders of the head, such as migraine, headache, sinusitis, dental problems and chronic, delivery-related problems in children.
Contraindications: All medical emergencies and the presence of serious anatomical lesions.
