Osteopathy comes from the Greek osteon (\u1f40\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03bf\u03bd), “bone” and patheia (\u03c0\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1),\u00a0“disease”. It is a field of medicine which is based on body interrelation of the mind and\u00a0the spirit, whether in health or sickness, emphasizing the structural and functional\u00a0integrity of the body and its tendency to self-healing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Osteopath Dr. Luciana Pimentel explains that Osteopathy is an approach that uses\u00a0manual techniques to assess, diagnose and treat a patient. The goal is to restore the\u00a0balance of body functions and also the components of the Somatic System (skeleton,\u00a0joint, muscles, tendons and myofascial vascular elements, and neural and related\u00a0lymph).<\/p>\n

It was created in the nineteenth century by a North American doctor, Andrew Taylor\u00a0Still. The first Osteopathic College was founded in Kircksville, Missouri, USA, in the\u00a0year 1892. In 1908, Osteopathy was already recognized as a profession in the US, and\u00a0in 1917 it already accounted more than three thousand graduates in osteopathy.<\/p>\n

In 2001 the Osteopathic Physiotherapy was recognized in Brazil by the Federal Council\u00a0of Physical Therapy as a specialty of Physiotherapist. And in 2012, the Ministry of\u00a0Labor recognized it as a Medical Occupation, as well as an occupation of the\u00a0Physiotherapists.<\/p>\n

Osteopathy with its biomechanical approach can be an instrument to be used with high-\u00a0performance athletes, not only as a treatment but as prevention too, improving their\u00a0performance and reducing the risk of injury.<\/p>\n

Wrestler Antoine Jaoud was presented to Osteopathy by Dra. Luciana Pimentel, in\u00a02007, during the Pan American Games in Rio. Today he recognizes that there is an\u00a0athlete before and another after the Osteopathy.<\/p>\n

“Injuries that bothered me for years disappeared as if by magic.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Luciana says that one day, before Antoine Abou Jaoude came to the Pan Village, he\u00a0was examined by her, complaining of neck pain, with loss of mobility on the “neck” and\u00a0also feeling “shock” while doing the movement \u201cJeb\u201d (punch). Several hours after\u00a0treatment, the pain and the feeling of “shock” had improved and the mobility was\u00a0restored. He reached the semi-finals and did not get the bronze medal only due to a\u00a0disruption in the brachii muscle biceps.<\/p>\n

Osteopathy does not have contraindications and does not require specific indication.\u00a0According to Dr. Luciana, the professional has full autonomy to make an assessment on\u00a0a patient who has any kind of abuse, such as pain, loss of mobility, dizziness, among\u00a0many others. The patient will be submitted to an evaluation, diagnosis and treatment or,\u00a0if necessary, be referred to the professional that the patient need (doctor,\u00a0physiotherapist, etc.)<\/p>\n

Thus, according to osteopathy, we need to balance all body systems so that no\u00a0dysfunction could cause other ones.<\/p>\n

As the creator, Dr. Still, explains, if the structure is in harmony, there can be no disease,\u00a0and the human bodies can rather regulate themselves and do a self healing. Just rely on\u00a0the work of the Osteopath.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s our tip! A big kiss! And a lot of harmony for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
