Osteopathy in Tarragona
Osteopathy is a manual therapeutic approach that seeks to restore the body's structural and functional balance. Our osteopath, Javier Fontanet (registered no. 1042), assesses the patient holistically — not just the painful area — to identify the mobility restrictions at the root of the dysfunction.
What is osteopathy and how does it work?
Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body's structure (bones, muscles, fascia, organs) and its function are intimately related. When a structure loses mobility, the body compensates with others, generating overloads and pain distant from the actual origin of the problem.
The osteopath uses gentle manual techniques — joint manipulations, cranial techniques, myofascial release and visceral techniques — to restore mobility to affected structures and allow the body to activate its own self-healing mechanisms.
No medications or instruments are used: treatment is exclusively manual.

What does osteopathy treat?
- Back and neck pain: Low back pain, neck pain, mid-back pain and sciatica that do not respond to conventional treatment.
- Headaches and migraines: Especially those of cervicogenic or tensional origin, through cranial and upper cervical spine techniques.
- Vertigo and dizziness: Cervicogenic vertigo and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions.
- Functional digestive problems: Constipation, abdominal bloating and reflux, through visceral techniques.
- Pain in babies and children: Infant colic, plagiocephaly, congenital torticollis, through paediatric osteopathy. Note: Mr. Fontanet does not treat this type of patient.
- Stress and body tension: Stress somatizations that generate generalized stiffness, bruxism or difficulty resting.
What is an osteopathy session like?
Mr. Fontanet's osteopathy consultations last 45 minutes. For first-time patients, two initial sessions are recommended to assess and treat the dysfunction fully. Once the issue is resolved, a monthly maintenance session is recommended to prevent relapses and maintain body balance.
Cranial osteopathy
A subtle technique that works on the micro-movements of the skull and intracranial membranes. Especially indicated for headaches, vertigo, tinnitus, stress and sleep disorders.
