🛠️ I often receive messages asking for guidance on what my treatment involves.

Unlike other approaches, my methodology isn't based on fixed steps or "one-size-fits-all" recipes. Instead, it is based on the technical listening of the tissue. My priority is to adapt to what your body demands during each visit.

✅ Global Mobility: I begin every session with a General Osteopathic Treatment (TGO) to test your structure rhythmically, locating tension points and preparing the body as a whole.

✅ Therapeutic Massage: I consider manual work on the tissue an indispensable tool. It is essential for releasing deep-seated strain and ensuring the body properly assimilates the work performed.

✅ No Rigid Protocols: Every person and every day is different. The technique I use depends entirely on your tissue's response and your clinical requirements at that specific moment.

🗓️ Upcoming dates: From Thursday, Feb 26th to Monday, March 16th.

Pelvic Imbalance: Why your "short leg" isn't what it seems

​When you come to my office noticing that one pant leg drags more than the other or you feel your gait is off, we are likely looking at a pelvic imbalance. In the vast majority of cases, your bones haven't changed length; rather, your structure has developed a dysfunctional "adaptation."

​The Pelvis as your Center of Load
The pelvis is the engine of your biomechanics. If the iliac bones or the sacrum lose their mobility and lock into a rotated position, a functional shortening effect occurs. This creates a falsely short leg that completely shifts your center of gravity.

​The Consequences of Misalignment
The body is a functional unit; nothing happens in isolation. When the foundation fails, the rest of the system pays the price:

​Ascending Adaptations: Your spine is forced to curve (functional scoliosis) to compensate for the tilt, leading to chronic tension in the quadratus lumborum and cervical pain.

​Joint Overload: The hip and knee on the weight-bearing side suffer premature wear due to uneven pressure distribution.

​Myofascial Blockage: Key muscles like the psoas and piriformis shorten, creating tension that can even compromise nerves such as the sciatic nerve.

​My Approach: Structural Adjustment
My goal is not to patch the symptom, but to restore the original mobility of your system.

To correct this imbalance, I act on several levels:

​Articular Normalization: Using specific manual techniques, I release the sacroiliac blockage, returning the pelvis to its natural equilibrium.

​Muscle Chain Balancing: It is not enough to just "set the bone." I take care of relaxing the tonic musculature that is pulling on your pelvis to ensure the adjustment is stable and lasting.

​System Integration: I aim for your center of gravity to regain its verticality, eliminating the unnecessary strain your back and limbs are enduring.

​Structure governs function. When your pelvis is aligned, your body stops fighting against itself and inflammation disappears.

Your Diaphragm: The "Hidden Engine" of Digestive Health 🫁✨

​Did you know we breathe about 20,000 times a day? In every single breath, a powerhouse muscle is at work: the diaphragm.

​But it does much more than just move air into your lungs; it’s the true conductor of your internal organs.
​How can a free and flexible diaphragm help you?

​When the diaphragm moves correctly, it acts as a natural, constant massage for your digestive system. However, stress, poor posture, or accumulated tension can "lock" it, causing a domino effect in your body:

​⚡ Lighter Digestion: By restoring its mobility, I help stimulate intestinal transit, fighting constipation and bloating.

​🔥 Goodbye Reflux: Relieving pressure on the stomach opening (hiatus) can reduce heartburn and acid reflux.

​🐍 Less Back & Neck Pain: A tight diaphragm pulls on your lumbar vertebrae and overloads your neck. Often, releasing it is the missing piece to solve chronic neck pain.

​💧 Improved Circulation: It acts as a pump that keeps blood and lymph flowing, reducing that "heavy" feeling.

​What I do in my practice 👐

​Using gentle and precise manual techniques, I work to restore elasticity to this muscle. My goal isn’t just to treat the symptom, but to release the root of the tension so your body can find its natural rhythm again.

​If you feel your breath is shallow, suffer from abdominal heaviness, or notice your back is always tense, your diaphragm might be calling for help.

💻 Remote Work or Back Torture?

Optimize your workspace.

Spending 8 hours in front of a screen doesn't have to result in pain. The issue isn't just sitting; it's how you sit and how long you remain static.
Here are the key points to adjust your workstation today:

1️⃣ Screen Height: The top of your monitor should be at eye level. If you use a laptop, use a stand and an external keyboard. Constantly looking down is the main cause of "tech-neck" and cervical strain.

2️⃣ The 90° Rule: Your feet should be flat on the floor. Your knees and hips should form a 90-degree angle. If your feet are dangling, the tension goes straight to your lower back.

3️⃣ Lumbar Support: Don't let your back slouch. If your chair lacks support, place a small cushion or a rolled-up towel in the curve of your lower back to maintain its natural shape.

4️⃣ Arm Placement: Your forearms should be supported, and your shoulders relaxed. If your shoulders are up near your ears, your neck will pay the price.

5️⃣ Micro-breaks: Movement is medicine. Every 50 minutes, stand up for 2 minutes: walk around, roll your shoulders, and look away from the screen.

Take care of your workspace now so you don't have to fix your back later! 🖱️✨

💡 Back Health Guide: Are you resting or straining your spine?

​Sleeping doesn't always mean your body is recovering. Many times, we wake up with tension or stiffness simply because the spine has spent hours in a strained position.
​Here are the keys to improving your posture and your rest starting tonight:

​1️⃣ Neutral Alignment: The main goal is for your spine to maintain its natural curves. Not too flat, not too arched.

2️⃣ The Power of the Extra Pillow: It is the most effective (and cheapest) tool you have. Place it between your knees (if you sleep on your side) or under them (if you sleep on your back) to release lower back and sacroiliac tension.

3️⃣ Head Position: Your pillow should only support your head and neck. A common mistake is placing the shoulders on the pillow—this forces the cervical curve. Keep your shoulders on the mattress!

4️⃣ Avoid Extreme Fetal Position: Curling up too tightly increases pressure on your mid-back (thoracic area) and can restrict deep breathing during the night.

5️⃣ Mattress Firmness: Look for a balance. A mattress that is too soft offers no support, while one that is too hard creates painful pressure points on your shoulders and hips.
​Remember: Healthy habits during the night account for 70% of your back's overall health. 🦴✨

Did you know your back pain might actually start in your feet? 👣
​Sometimes we look for solutions in the wrong places. As you can see in the graphic, the human body works like a tower: if the foundation is unstable, everything above it starts to tilt. This is what we call the "Kinetic Chain" effect.

​🚩 Pay attention to these 5 Red Flags:

​Foot Flare: Do your feet point outward when you walk?
​Internal Knee Rotation: Do your knees "sink" inward?
​Bowed Achilles: Do your heels lean toward the center?
​Flat Feet: Is your arch collapsing or touching the floor?
​Uneven Shoe Wear: Check your soles! Is one side more worn out than the other?

​If you notice uneven shoulders, hip tilting, or persistent lower back pain, the root cause might be your gait. A solid foundation is the secret to a pain-free life.
​Don't just treat the symptoms,. fix the source.

🦷 Do you feel jaw tension or a "click" when you open your mouth?
​Many patients come to see me for headaches or neck discomfort without suspecting that the root cause lies in their Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ).
​Craniomandibular Dysfunction occurs when the system connecting your jaw to your skull loses its balance. As you can see in the image, if that small disc (highlighted in yellow) doesn't move correctly or if the muscles are too tight due to stress or bruxism, pain begins.

​👐 My Osteopathic Approach

​In my practice, I don't just treat the symptom; I treat the person. I understand that your jaw is a key piece of your posture, and any misalignment here affects your entire body.

​How do I help you solve it?

​Muscle Release: I manually work on the chewing muscles to eliminate those tension points causing you pain.

​Cranial Techniques: I use gentle manipulations to restore mobility to the cranial bones, allowing the joint to function without pressure.

​Cervical Connection: I check and adjust the relationship between your jaw and your upper vertebrae, as they always work together.

​Global Vision: I analyze if that tension stems from your overall posture, helping your body find a new equilibrium.
