Healthcare profession
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a regulated healthcare profession recognised under DPR n.131/2021, focused on the prevention, assessment and treatment of body dysfunctions through a manual, holistic and person-centred approach.
A holistic approach to health
At the core of osteopathic practice is an integrated vision of the individual: treatment does not focus exclusively on the symptom, but seeks the possible functional and biomechanical alterations that may have contributed to its onset.
Through specific manual techniques, osteopathy aims to improve tissue mobility, support the functional balance of the body and sustain the physiological processes of adaptation and self-regulation.
What the osteopath does (and doesn't do)
The osteopath addresses somatic, musculoskeletal, fascial, visceral and craniosacral dysfunctions through a manual approach complementary to conventional medical care.
The osteopath does not replace the physician and is not involved in the diagnosis or treatment of organic, degenerative, infectious, genetic pathologies or emergency conditions.
Who it is for
For every age, a tailored treatment.
Osteopathic treatment is suitable for people of all ages and can be adapted to the specific needs of different life stages.
