    Cet ouvrage situe la juste place de la nutrition dans l'arsenal de la prévention et de la thérapeutique avec l'idée directrice que, bien se nourrir, c'est prévenir et se soigner. Il met en avant le rôle clef que joue l'alimentation dans le bien-être, la prévention et le traitement de nombreuses maladies chroniques ou plus spécifiques. Longtemps empirique ou intuitive, la nutrition s'est hissée au rang d'une discipline scientifique sans rien perdre de sa dimension humaine. Elle occupe à présent une place incontournable dans la prévention de nombreuses maladies. Elle contribue au traitement de diverses pathologies de façon spécifique ou exclusive, en renforçant parfois l'action des traitements pharmacologiques. Aussi, ce livre est-il composé de 2 parties : - La partie "Nutrition préventive" fournit les clés de compréhension et de mise ne place d'une alimentation saine et équilibrée, favorable au maintien de l'état de santé. Elle détaille à la fois les aliments et leurs constituants, les contaminants, les modes alimentaires et leurs effets sur la santé, ainsi que les bases de la prévention des pathologies et des besoins particuliers. - La partie "Nutrition thérapeutique" décrit les outils nécessaires pour l'évaluation et l'assistance nutritionnelles dans certaines pathologies chroniques et délivre les principes de la prescription nutritionnelle. La justification et la mise en œuvre de tous les régimes alimentaires particuliers , leurs indications et leurs limites y sont largement développées. Ce livre, qui propose une approche globale résultant de l'état des connaissances médicales et scientifiques actuelles, s'adresse à tout professionnel de santé concerné par l'équilibre alimentaire et l'adaptation nutritionnelle.

  • Manipulations des dysfonctions pelviennes féminines

    • 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.
