FAQs

WOMEN'S HEALTH

  • Yes. Osteopathy doesn't treat PCOS/PMOS itself, but it can help reduce the pelvic pain, musculoskeletal tension and visceral dysfunctions associated with the syndrome. By working on the mobility of the abdominal and pelvic structures, the osteopath supports better circulation and a more balanced hormonal environment. A holistic approach, alongside medical care, is recommended.

  • Yes. Osteopathy is often recommended alongside the medical or surgical management of endometriosis. It aims to release fascial and visceral tension, improve the mobility of the pelvic organs and ease chronic pain. It doesn't cure endometriosis, but it can significantly improve day-to-day quality of life.

  • Absolutely. Osteopathic care during pregnancy is safe and beneficial in every trimester. It helps relieve lower-back pain, sciatica and pubic symphysis pain, and prepares the pelvis for birth. One to two sessions per trimester, plus one postpartum session, are generally advised.

  • Yes. The hormonal changes of menopause can bring joint pain, muscle tension, sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue. Osteopathy works on these physical effects by restoring joint and tissue mobility and supporting the balance of the autonomic nervous system.

  • Osteopathy can play a supporting role in a fertility journey, particularly by releasing mechanical restrictions in the pelvis and reproductive organs, improving blood flow and reducing physical stress. It's often combined with medical care or assisted reproduction. I work in coordination with other healthcare professionals for complete care.

SPORT

  • Strength training places significant strain on the joints, tendons and fascia. Osteopathy helps optimise joint mobility, prevent overuse injuries and speed up recovery. Regular care helps keep postural compensations in check and lets you progress without pain.

  • Absolutely. Motorcycle, enduro and circuit riders deal with specific postural strains: vibration, asymmetric positioning, falls. Osteopathy treats the neck, upper- and lower-back tension linked to these strains, improves proprioception and helps maintain optimal performance throughout the season.

  • Once the acute phase has passed (usually 48–72 hours after the injury), an osteopathic consultation can speed up recovery. As a preventive measure, a session at the start of the season helps detect imbalances before they become a problem.

PRACTICAL

  • My practice is located within the Cocoon, a multidisciplinary health and wellbeing space in Strasbourg. You can book directly online via Doctolib or by email at cabinet@osteo-kromer.com.

  • Yes, absolutely. I see infants, children, adults, pregnant women and athletes. Preventive check-up consultations, postpartum follow-ups, postural assessments and consultations for stress or chronic fatigue are equally welcome.
