The session
Your osteopathy session in Rabat
A session always begins with a conversation to understand why you have come, your history and your goals.
1. Consultation
The practitioner asks about your discomfort, how it has developed, your medical history, current treatment, work or sporting activity and any tests already done.
2. Assessment
Functional and mobility tests may be carried out to identify the areas to examine and to check that osteopathic care is appropriate.
3. Hands-on techniques
Depending on your situation, different approaches may be used: articular, functional, myofascial, cranial or visceral techniques. They are adapted to your comfort and clinical context.
4. Advice
The session may end with simple recommendations: mobility, a gradual return to activity, ergonomics, or symptoms to keep an eye on.
When should you see a doctor first?
Unusually severe pain, a significant recent injury, loss of strength, neurological symptoms, fever, chest pain, breathlessness or any worrying symptom call for urgent medical advice.
In an emergency in Morocco, call the SAMU ambulance service on 141 or Civil Protection on 15, or go to the nearest emergency department.
Specific guidance for each condition is available on the conditions page.
