What is orthotherapy
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
It is a manual therapy which combines massage, joint mobilizations and vertebral mobilizations to which are added specific techniques (trigger points, active release, etc.) in order to treat muscular, joint and postural pathologies.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
In other words, the orthotherapist is a massage therapist and physiotherapist who specializes in global musculoskeletal treatment.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
What can be treated with orthotherapy?

Almost everything related to muscles, joints and posture.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Examples:
-Back / neck pain
-Sciatic nerves
-Migraine / headache / Arnold's nerve

-Etc.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
How long does a treatment take?
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Usually the treatment lasts 60 minutes.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Are there any risks associated with spinal mobilizations?
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
No. Here we have to differentiate between vertebral MOBILIZATION and vertebral MANIPULATION.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Spinal Mobilization : Execution of a SLOW movement, during the client's exhalation, which RESPECTS the normal range of motion of the body.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Spinal manipulation : Execution of a BRUSH movement, beyond the normal range of motion (This is a gesture reserved only for certified professionals, because it involves a risk).
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Kinesiology
What is kinesiology?
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Kinesiology is a discipline which studies the movements and postures of the human body under its biomechanical, anatomical, physiological, neurological, biochemical, neuromotor and psychological components.
In other words, kinesiologists are specialists in human movement, physical health and lifestyle, whose main means of intervention is physical activity. They also contribute to the optimization of posture and the adoption of better health behaviors.
Who is kinesiology for?
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
For everyone, whether you have a health problem or not, regardless of age.
Examples:
- Musculoskeletal problems (tendonitis, pain in the knees, hips, etc.)
- Metabolic problems (diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity, etc.)
- Cardiovascular problems (angina, myocardial infarction (heart attack), phlebitis, etc.)
- Lung problems (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea, asthma, etc.)
- Neurological problems (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, etc.)
- etc.

Kinesiology
Qu'est-ce que la kinésithérapie?
La kinésithérapie est un traitement basé sur un principe de rééquilibrage musculaire avec la participation active du patient.
​
En fonction des mouvements de tous les jours, le corps développe des postures et des schémas fonctionnels qui peuvent devenir néfastes avec le temps et peuvent mener à des douleurs physiques.
​
Par plusieurs méthodes de mobilisation et de massothérapie, cette pratique intègre la thérapie manuelle pour réduire vos douleurs, optimiser votre posture au quotidien ainsi que vos mouvements durant la pratique d'activité physique (incluant les activités à faible intensité comme le ménage, le jardinage, etc.)
​
Un esprit sain dans un corps sain !
​
Qu’est-ce qu’un kinésithérapeute peut m’apporter ?
​
Le traitement est basé sur le principe de rééquilibrage musculosquelettique. Il est bien connu que tout problème musculosquelettique entraîne une perturbation du mouvement, et contribue donc à l’émergence éventuelle de douleurs chroniques.
​
Détendre, assouplir et renforcer sont les trois ingrédients indispensables à la réalisation d’un mouvement fluide et efficace, ainsi qu’au maintien d’une bonne posture.
​
Le kinésithérapeute, à moins de contre-indications du médecin traitant, veillera à éliminer les tensions musculaires, et ainsi rétablir l’harmonie des chaînes musculaires. La musculature est l’un des paramètres sur lesquels il est le plus facile d’intervenir grâce à sa grande capacité de réponse aux stimuli.
​
Les mobilisations passives et actives seront plus faciles à réaliser par la suite. De plus, l’apprentissage d’exercices préventifs et l’éducation adaptée du mouvement permettront à la personne d’acquérir une autonomie dans la gestion de ses douleurs et de sa posture.
​
Les résultats
