FAB' Ostéopathie Sàrl (Lausanne)

Course of a session

The first session begins with a detailed anamnesis, which can be used to determine the reasons for which the patient is consulted. The aim is to understand the origin of the symptoms described by the patient.

The anamnesis continues with more general questions about the patient's health. This first part is very important and allows the physician to understand his patient globally in his context of health and everyday life.

During the following sessions, the anamnesis consists of only a small part aimed at considering the patient's evolution.

At the end of the anamnesis, the therapist goes to a clinical examination that allows him to confirm or refute his diagnosis. He can then decide if osteopathic treatment is appropriate or if it is preferable to consult another specialist.

For this clinical examination, the patient will wear underwear (you can bring shorts or leggings if you feel more comfortable). The doctor will observe the different structures of the body and ask the patient to perform various movements.

Finally, the osteopath decides to adapt the techniques used during the treatment to each patient. The goal of the treatment is to reduce the detected tensions and increase the mobility of the tissues to optimize the function of each body structure.
