Osteopathy. A calm, whole-body approach.

At Osteopatia del Mar we employ the basic tenets of osteopathy, understanding that the body is a unified whole , where physical, emotional and mental health affect each other, it can heal and regulate itself, anatomy (structure)and physiology (function) are interrelated and affect each other, and treatment relies on these core ideas.

Restrictions, tension and discomfort can often be connected to posture, movement patterns, stress, lifestyle and how different parts of the body work together.
