FAQ about Osteopaths, Osteopathy and Cranial Osteopathy

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a manual therapy that treats the body as a whole (Holistic approach) and not only the area where the pain is. Osteopath focuses on the muscles, the fascia, the joints and the spine, to improve alignment, remove tensions and increase blood and lymph circulation. Osteopathy helps relieve the pain and promote natural healing.

Osteopathy focuses on assessment, treatment and prevention of health issues.There are different type of osteopathy: Paediatric osteopathycranial osteopathy, women’s health and pregnancy osteopathy and msk or sports osteopathy.

What is the goal of an Osteopath?

The goal of an osteopath is to gently release the restrictions and tensions in the body to improve the blood and lymph circulation and to re-balance the nervous system. if you are dealing with neck pain,  jaw painpelvic girdle painback pain during pregnancysports injuries, or your baby has, refluxcolic or sleep issues, the holistic approach of osteopathy will help to remove any unwanted tensions to help the body to re-aligne and heal itself. This process will remove the symptoms and what is causing a condition to be painful

By focusing on the body’s health and structural integrity, osteopathy aims to support the body’s natural healing processes to provide long-term relief.

How Does Osteopathy Work? An Holistic Approach

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to the human body. Osteopaths, in their treatment, take into consideration all the connective tissues of the body from head to toe (fascia, joints, tendons…) and not only where your pain is. The osteopath looks mainly at whether those tissues are in the right place, whether or not they’re moving freely and without tensions on any other organs or parts of the body. The osteopath looks firstly at the above as connective tissues and tensions that can restrain the movement of the organs and bones, which often are the source of the pain.

A good body balance is the key to a pain-free and healthy body. This is the reason why a good osteopath will always look and treat your condition globality and not only at where the pain is.

By removing tensions and increasing the freedom of movement in joints and tissue, the osteopath will allow the body to recover by itself and will give you long-lasting relief.

What to expect from your initial osteopathy treatment?

During your initial Osteopathy treatment,  the osteopath will start with a thorough assessment of your medical history and of your body, starting by looking at the movement of the fascias, they will look at your breathing and how blood is moving through the tissue. Then the Osteopath will look at the movement of the different sutures of  your body, including the cranial bones (Cranial Osteopathy). In addition, the osteopath will assess the movement and positioning of each organ that could be  linked to any imbalances or any restrictions. Once the osteopath has determined the root cause and the way that the pain irradiates ( biomechanics analyses), he will be able to determine a tailored treatment plan and to remove tension that trigger the pain.

Then the osteopath will start to treat you with the techniques that, he thinks is the most relevant for your condition. The osteopath will also give you some exercises to do at home in between the sessions to fasten your recovery.

What are The Different Types of Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is not a “one fits all” treatment, there are different type of osteopathy and osteopathy treatment depending of the localisation and intensity of your pain or discomfort.

What is Digestive Osteopathy? How Does It Work?

Digestive osteopathy is a specialty of osteopathy that focus on the movement and tensions of your internal organs. Your whole body is connected, so digestive osteopathy can be use to treat not only the organs but also other part of the body that are related to a specific organ.

A digestive osteopath will  assess the movement of the organs (digestive osteopathy). He will test if both  passive and active movement can occurs to determine the organ behave normally. The osteopath will gently put his hand or finger on an organ and  listen without moving their hands to see if they can feel a passive movement.

He will also physically move the organ left and right, up and down and rotate it to see if it actually moves along the axis that it’s supposed to.

Once he has a clear vision of the issue, he will then restore the correct movement and tension of the organ in order to free other part of the body or the organ itself

What is Cranial Osteopathy / Cranio-Sacral Osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is a gentle type of osteopathy that focus on the small natural movements of the bones of the skull and the spine. The cranial osteopath use soft touch to feel how the bones, the fluids and the tissues are moving. Even if it is called cranial, this treatment is not only for the head, because everything in the body is connected through the nerves, the blood and the fascia.

By removing those restrictions, the osteopath helps to restore balance and allow the body to heal by itself. Cranial osteopathy can be used for adults with headaches, jaw pain, stress, neck or back pain, and for babies with colic, reflux or sleeping issues.

During the session, the osteopath will gently place his hands on your head, your sacrum or other part of your body to feel where the tensions are. The treatment is very relaxing and many people fall asleep. It is a natural and safe way to help the body find again its balance and feel lighter. Cranial osteopathy helps to calm the nervous system and to bring the body back to a state of health.

What is Cranial Osteopathy for Babies?

Cranial osteopathy for babies is a very gentle treatment that helps to release any small tensions that could appear during birth or after. birth. A baby’s skull is very soft and flexible, sometimes the pressure from the labour or from the position in the womb can create some small restrictions and tension in the baby’s body and these tensions can affect the way the baby sleeps, feeds or digests.

Our cranial osteopath uses a very light touch to feel how the bones and the tissues of the baby’s head and body are moving. The aim is to help the baby’s body to relax and to restore its natural balance so the body can heal itself. Cranial osteopathy can help with a large baby condition that can be difficult to treat without cranial osteopathy such as baby colic, baby reflux, baby sleeping problems, crying or difficulties with breastfeeding. Cranial osteopathy for baby is very safe and babies often calm down or even fall asleep during the session.
