Osteopathy
At the Ekinox clinic, our osteopaths (among the most experienced in Vaudreuil-Soulanges) passionate about their profession. The members of our team, mostly feminine, have extensive knowledge of health sciences and the interrelation between all systems of the body.
The role of our osteopaths is to analyze what you are experiencing in a global way and to propose an appropriate osteopathic treatment.
Working in an interdisciplinary team, your osteopath does not hesitate to refer you to other health professionals when your condition requires it.
What happens during an osteopathic session?
During the first meeting, a complete and global evaluation of your state of health and the discomfort that brings you to consult allows your osteopath to investigate the cause of neuro-musculo-skeletal, visceral and cranial dysfunctions. This information guides your osteopath in their evaluation through palpation.
What does your osteopath do next? Through gentle and precise mobilizations, your osteopath adapts his intervention plan according to the pre-established osteopathic evaluation.
Since it is a global approach, it is not surprising that your therapist works on areas further away from those where you have discomfort.
