Manual therapies
Health is more than the absence of injury. It is a state of dynamic well-being that allows us to fulfill ourselves as human beings and actively participate in our personal and collective development. It enables us to have harmonious and constructive interactions with our environment.
Manual therapies aim to identify and correct lesions within the body, thereby promoting the body's internal balance and its harmonious relationship with its environment.
All the elements that make up our body possess their own rhythms (internal movements of their structure). The proper functioning and arrangement of these rhythms allow us to live in good health. The whole system operates as a unique self-regulating mechanism.
Origin of the lesion:
When the body undergoes a physical or psychological shock whose intensity exceeds the normal reaction possibilities of the tissues, there follows a suppression or alteration of the normal rhythm at the site of the trauma as well as in the corresponding tissues (sometimes very far from the original lesion).
Goals of manual therapies:
To palpate the body and its tissues
To find the disturbed areas and rhythms aimed at restoring tissues by prioritizing its roles in internal and external exchanges (harmony with its environment).
