-Osteopathy is a manual approach to diagnosis and therapy whose aim is to restore the structural and functional balance of the body as a whole and stimulate the body's self-regulating mechanisms.

-Osteopathy is based on the fact that any loss of mobility of joints, muscles, ligaments or viscera can cause an imbalance in the state of health.

Osteopathy is based on the concept that the organism is a whole, and that health depends on the functional balance of all the structures that make up the human body. This explains why manipulations are sometimes performed on areas far from the center of pain.

-Osteopathy focuses on the patient's physical symptoms, lifestyle habits and overall condition.

Osteopathy is indicated for any loss of function not involving a change in structure (e.g. fractures). These losses of function usually involve inflammation and pain, which may be located throughout the human body.

Osteopathy is equally suited to infants, children, adolescents, adults, pregnant women, athletes and the elderly.

-Like all forms of medicine, osteopathy knows its limitations and does not claim to treat everything. It does not, for example, propose to cure degenerative, genetic or even infectious diseases.

Osteopathy aims to complement allopathic medicine.
