What does osteopathy do?

  • Improves blood circulation in the abdominal and lower back area
  • Softens the muscles and fasciae
  • Restores pelvic mobility
  • Helps the body restore its own balance

In women with pelvic tilt, lumbosacral pain, menstrual pain, abdominal bloating and digestive disorders may appear together — because the pelvis is the center of the body.


We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
