Raphael has been practicing Osteopathy since 2008. His main focus is Osteopathy and Cranial Sacral Therapy, which both are non-invasive treatments.
Osteopathy aids in the treatment of back pain, and includes a combination of non-invasive procedures such as chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, and heat therapy which can typically be prescribed for several weeks depending on severity.
Osteopathy is a manual therapy intended to make the human body’s processes and mechanisms work better. The aim of osteopathy is to help the body find equilibrium to foster self-healing. Cranial Sacral therapy (CST) is a very gentle approach or as Raphael would describe it: “it’s like a butterfly touching your body”.
