Alinear osteopathy
Manual Osteopathy is a very gentle, non invasive, hands-on form of manual therapy for all people of all ages. It enhances whole body health disorders through the manipulation of the fascia, bones, joints and muscles. Osteopathy focuses on identifying areas of restriction in the body and then uses specific techniques to restore motion to the area, affecting related structures (including nerves, blood flow, lymphatic flow) and by doing so support and stimulate the bodies self healing mechanisms to restore and promote optimal health.
Alinear in Spanish translates into the meaning: To Align, which is ‘in alignment’ with the concepts of manual osteopathy, specifically the state of body alignment due to proper positioning or adjustment of parts, all in correct relationship to one another.
