Osteopathy for the elderly

Osteopathy in older people plays a supporting role or adjunct to Conventional Medicine in chronic and degenerative diseases.

What does Osteopathy bring to the elderly?

Osteopathy wants to do its bit, helping older people to have a better quality of life and to fend for themselves.

Why can Osteopathy be useful to the elderly?

Osteopathy favors the elderly and can be very beneficial for them, fulfilling a valuable preventive work. It positively influences body structures and the functions that these structures perform. Also, because older people have many problems that can decrease their quality of life, and osteopathic care is the effective method for pain relief, to improve mobility and to boost the immune system.

How is osteopathy used in the elderly and in what specific cases is it used?

Osteopathy is a manual health method, not invasive, that is done with gentle techniques, and that can help in many health disorders in the elderly, such as chronic degenerative diseases, arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, all kinds of musculoskeletal pain , and loss of balance and mobility. It is worth highlighting its role as support or adjunct to Conventional Medicine in chronic and degenerative diseases. In this sense, we want to vindicate the great impact that Osteopathy can have on health and on the economy, as a consequence of the reduction in morbidity, emergency visits, hospitalizations, use of medications, and even the mortality.

Osteopathy is a mechanical passion! I see myself as a mechanic, but not for cars, for bodies and anatomy: the structure, the spine, joints that don’t move, and people aren’t aware of it! They’re unaware of the tension they hold and grip, they’re unaware that their pain and aches are symptoms of chronic tissue.

When joints don’t have their full range of motion, they lose tensegrity, elasticity, and balance. My work is to restore movement and improve the quality of chronic, and acute tissue with osteopathy and bioenergetic restoration.

I treat everyone: adults, athletes, children, and babies because anatomy is anatomy, and it doesn’t matter what field they come from. We’re here to help.

Professional, qualified and registered osteopath, OCOE no. 0578

If you’re looking for health, you’ve found me! My passion as an osteopath is helping to restore joint mobility and internal balance by regulating the compartments of the various diaphragms that divide the pelvis, abdomen, thorax and skull. My aim is to co-create homeostasis and alignment when a body is out of balance, whether structurally or functionally, and manifesting symptoms. Symptoms can be varied, but as an osteopath, I use treatment and maintenance to regulate the anatomy that is out of harmony. I treat the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems using structural, visceral and craniosacral osteopathic techniques for all kinds of people, from the very young, children and babies, to people with disabilities or special needs, athletes, pregnant women and older adults. I ́m here to help you if I can give you a
hand.

“As an osteopath, my skill lies upon putting all my attention to listening to my patient, their tissues, and fully doing a deep clinical examination and assesment to come up with a specific and personalized treatment plan. I work with sports teams and
organisations, which allows me to deepen the joint work between different health professionals, to offer the best service to the patient and our client”.
