– Globality: all the organs of the human body are functionally connected to each other;
– Self-regulation: the organism is endowed with a natural power of self-healing, self-regulation and self-defense;
– structure and functionality: all the components of the organism’s structure communicate with each other to maintain the state of health, therefore an obstacle in this communication affects functionality. According to these three principles, the osteopath treats the patient with the aim of restoring the harmony of the structure by treating the lesions from their origin and analyzing their possible causes. Structural osteopathy focuses on the musculoskeletal system. It is the most used to correct pathologies and injuries related to bones and muscles. Visceral osteopathy focuses on the stimulation and rehabilitation of the viscera and vital organs, such as the stomach, pancreas or reproductive system. Cranial osteopathy studies the relationship between the structure of the skull and the nervous system.

Acupuncture
It is a practice originating from Chinese medicine, which arrived in the West around 1600 thanks to some Portuguese missionaries returning from trips to the East.
It is a very ancient method, based on texts that date back to 2,500 BC. The philosophy underlying the practice is that of Yin and Yang, according to which our state of health depends on the harmonious interaction between the mind (Shen) and the energy functions (Qi) of the body.
The vital energy would flow along a network of channels, called ‘meridians’ and therefore, any pathology would be attributable to a block of energy circulation due to a deficit or accumulation of energy.
The stimulation of particular points on the meridians through the insertion of very thin needles into the dermis, would allow to unblock the energy flow, restoring health and well-being to the body.
Indicated in pain syndromes such as migraine, low back pain, arthrosis, neck pain, sciatica and in non-painful ones such as asthma, constipation, insomnia, anxiety, depression.

Generally, each treatment involves a maximum of 6 points, which are the same acupuncture meridians on which the operator carries out, depending on the case, an energy dispersion or toning treatment.
