Osteopathy and the function of the heart

The heart is a vital organ essential for cardiovascular circulation, helps oxygenation and nutrients to tissues and helps the elimination of carbon dioxide and waste produced by cells, has its own electrical dynamics (sino atrial node) and a muscle that adapts according to your activities (relaxation, sport, stress). Oxygenated blood (clean blood) travels arteries, arterioles and venules and veins by pressure. The total length of all your vessels of an adult is 37 28 287 115 km, or twice around the earth.

Heart function

The heart is covered with a pericardium membrane, surrounded by lungs and thymus, located under the sternum and sides and slightly to the left. It is suspended by ligaments (vertebro-pericardium, sterno-pericardium, esophago-pericardium, tracheo-pericardium, phrenico-pericardium), to the lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae. The aortic arch overlaps the trachea and bronchi. Innervation by the parasympathetic system is NX (vagus) and orthosympathetic (stellate ganglion).

Osteopathy treatment for heart function

Cardiac function will be optimized either by the nerve pathway (from the base of the skull to the thoracic), sliding of the membranes (pericardium, mediastinum), arteries and veins and surrounding structures (lungs, thymus, esophagus, cerebral bridge).

Benefits:

-immediate general benefit;

-better oxygenation;

-better adaptation to stress;

-improved physical and recovery capacity;

-improve concentration;

-better sleep;

-in addition to loving freely!

Recommendation before consulting an osteopath:

The treatment is for all types of people, except in the case of uncontrolled cardiac symptoms (intense heat, accelerated rhythm for no reason, tightness in the chest), you will first consult a doctor or super nurse.
