What is Osteopathy and how do we treat you at FisioBalance?

Osteopathy is based on a global therapeutic approach to the body. The osteopath pays special attention to the structure of the individual and the mechanical problems that occur in it.

Our main tool is hands. We use different Manual Therapy techniques adapted to each patient and their needs, considering age, sex and health status.

The osteopath sees a patient as a whole, taking into account that the systems are always related to each other.

During the first visit, our expert performs an anamnesis and initial evaluation to define a diagnosis and establish the treatment plan. It is important to complement the clinical history with the latest imaging tests: MRI, X-ray, ultrasound.

Put yourself in good hands and make sure that the professionals have relevant training. In FisioBalance, osteopaths have a university degree in Physiotherapy and Master in Osteopathy.

JENIFER ROMERO – PHYSIOTHERAPIST AND OSTEOPATH

As a physiotherapist trained at Ramon Llull University, and an osteopath with the studies from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, I’m treating a human body as a single interrelated entity, and not just handling a specific problem locally. I specialize in musculo-skeletal injuries, visceral and cranial disorders. My patients range from athletes and pregnant women to older adults.
