The physiotherapist works mainly in functional reeducation with an approach focused on exercises and manual or instrumental techniques. The osteopath, on the other hand, concentrates on the global rebalancing of the body by treating structural and functional imbalances. Recall that the physiotherapist is a health professional practicing medicine, while osteopathy is a complementary therapy. Stéphane Glénard is a physiotherapist (DE Paris) and osteopath.
You can consult an osteopath in case of acute or chronic pain (back pain, sprains, torticollis…), but also for functional disorders (migraines, digestive problems). Osteopathy can be preventive or curative.
Stéphane Glénard, physiotherapist and osteopath, was the first to develop an emergency service during the night and on holidays to meet the numerous demands of his patients. As far as possible, Clinica Sarrià always tries to respond to the urgent demands of its patients. Especially for acute shoulder pain, lumbago or torticollis, ankle sprains. In case of very severe pain, do not hesitate to contact your doctor or join the medical emergencies.
In most cases, it is preferable to carry out the sessions in the office where we have the necessary equipment and facilities for good care. However, in certain cases it is possible for the physiotherapist or osteopath to come to your home in the center of Barcelona, Sitges or Sant Cugat. For physiotherapy or osteopathic care at the hotel, at home or in the office, contact us.
We offer a full range of services, including functional re-education, osteopathy, physiotherapy and therapeutic massage. We also practice the technique of informational osteopathy, or Poyet Pialoux Method.
The causes of consultations of a physiotherapist or an osteopath in a practice in a city like Barcelona are back pain (lumbago, sciatica, torticollis), shoulder pain (tendinitis, fracture and dislocation), knee and ankle sprains, reeducation after surgery (fracture, prosthesis).
This gentle method aims to re-harmonize the body’s micro-movements. The sessions consist of light manipulations to stimulate self-regulation and restore the body’s balance. Without pain and without aggression, the body will relax and reduce tensions and pains.
No, the treatments offered at Clinica Sarria (osteopathy, Poyet-Pialoux technique, physiotherapy) favor gentle approaches adapted to your level of tolerance. The objective is to reduce pain, not to increase it.
The number of sessions depends on the nature of your problem, your response to treatment, your needs and your initial condition. Some pathologies require one or two sessions, while others require more regular follow-up. We tailor treatment plans to ensure optimal results. We make an initial assessment and inform you as clearly as possible about the evolution of the treatment.
