Bonvin Wurgler Mireille (Bussigny)

An osteopathic session lasts an average of three-quarters of an hour. It takes place in three stages:

1. History This is a very precise clinical interview, during which the therapist, together with his or her complaint, obtains as much information as possible about the patient in order to better adapt the treatment.

Chronic pain, signs that increase or decrease it, paroxysmal periods, etc. The therapist will try to establish the link between the patient's history and his or her pain. His targeted questions, linked to the various body systems, will enable him to form an idea of the relevance of osteopathic treatment or the need to consult a doctor.

Medical reports can be submitted on the day of the consultation.

1. Clinical examination This is the contact phase.

Through observation, palpation and various medical and osteopathic tests, a diagnosis is made to determine which areas of the body have reduced mobility.

To this end, the patient is asked to put on his or her underwear. If necessary, and depending on the level of discomfort, alternatives can be found to respect your privacy. It's important to dare to express your discomfort or concerns frankly, to enable better cooperation and appropriate listening on the part of the therapist.

1. Treatment Once the tests have been completed, the osteopath proceeds with the actual treatment. This is different for each patient, and the technique used is adapted to each case.

He will apply manual techniques (structural or functional, fluid or fascial) to all structures of the musculoskeletal, visceral and craniosacral systems.

The aim is to restore reduced mobility as far as possible, so that the body can regain its proper physiological functions.
