Manipulations des dysfonctions pelviennes féminines

1st Edition
March 18, 2016
Olivier Bazin + 1 more
French

De nombreux ostéopathes sont confrontés dans leur pratique quotidienne à des patientes présentant des déséquilibres de la sphère pelvienne. Les motifs de consultation peuvent être liés à des troubles fonctionnels (incontinence urinaire, algies pelviennes, infertilité), à la physiologie hormonale (puberté, cycle menstruel, grossesse, ménopause) ou encore à des conséquences chirurgicales ou infectieuses spécifiques. Les tissus mous intrapelviens sont en permanence sollicités et mobilisés par les fonctions respiratoire, urinaire, génitale et intestinale ; de même les organes urogénitaux sont en constant mouvement. Le rôle de l'ostéopathe est de restaurer la mobilité de l'ensemble de ces tissus, afin d'assurer une bonne physiologie de la sphère pelvienne. Cet ouvrage, basé sur la clinique et les motifs de consultation les plus fréquents, fournit à l'ostéopathe des clés de traitement pour soulager et aider les patientes. Les auteurs proposent plusieurs types de manipulations par voies externe et interne. Les approches tissulaire, neurale et vasculaire y sont largement développées. L'ouvrage est didactique : la description des techniques est accompagnée de schémas et de photographies illustrant les différentes manipulations. La relation émotionnelle, l'impact social, le rôle du thérapeute, les indications et contre-indications, ainsi que certaines pathologies spécifiques à la sphère génito-urinaire sont autant d'aspects largement détaillés.
