During the examination, the osteopath examines the joints anatomically to understand their shape, movement and degree of mobility as well as assessing the statics of the body. In this way he decides what kind of pressures, reshuffles, stretches will be necessary and in which spots.
By repositioning the spine and mobilizing the various joints and massaging the tissues, the osteopath restores to the higher possible extent, the mechanical problems that the body is facing and strengthens its defense and self-healing mechanism.
Structural osteopathy uses invasive manipulations, depending on the case, and they are necessary for patients suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system (joint, muscle, ligament problems, stiffness, cervical syndrome, sciatica or static problems), mild or chronic rheumatic diseases, neuromuscular disorders and chronic health problems.
