How an Osteopathic Treatment with Emanuele takes place.

The Empathy and Professionalism of Emanuele will always make you feel comfortable.

Anamnesis:

The first consultation usually starts with a detailed discussion of the consultation’s reason. This anamnestic part also includes all the present and past relevant clinical history of the person.

Things that may have nothing to do with your complaints at first glance, may have a key role here. These include, for example, in addition to long-term accidents, diseases, operations and emotional stress and the current life situation. All these experiences can be related to current complaints. Everything that seems important to you should be communicated to Emanuele in this interview.

Physical Examination:

After the anamnesis, a detailed investigation begins. You will be asked to undress to your underwear suitable for a physical examination, however, the patient is always free to wear what makes him comfortable. The contact through hands in the osteopathic practice takes the main part of the treatment.
You may be asked to perform some movements, and Emanuele may move different parts of your body to see how they are functioning, or do additional tests.

Osteopathic Treatment:

Finally, osteopathic treatment takes place. The Osteopathic Treatment is always tailored on the person. Therefore, it is possible that two people will be treated very differently although they have exactly the same symptoms. Osteopathy works under the principle that there may be a number of contributing factors to the symptoms and will therefore evaluate not only the area which is producing the symptoms but also associated areas that may be contributing to the issue, including past trauma, environmental factors and the family’s health history.

At the end of the treatment, Emanuele will provide his diagnosis by explaining the possible mechanisms that have brought your body to give you pain. It is fundamental that you realise what’s happening to your body; this process of self-awareness is also part of the therapy. Emanuele will try to answer the questions that have been raised, providing information on how to improve the recovery, how to work on prevention and making a prognosis and treatment plan. If necessary, he will refer you to a specialist or another adequate therapist.
