THE BODY HAS SELF-REGULATING MECHANISMS
The human body is always seeking to maintain balance, like a tightrope walker who adjusts his posture with each step to avoid losing stability.
This process is made possible by the coordination of all the structures of the body, which are interconnected and influence each other, allowing the necessary adjustments to be made to maintain balance.
The different parts of the body are connected by a network of "tensioners" (known as fascia or connective tissue), which surround and run through the body
Any stimulus in this network is distributed and transmitted throughout the body.
When a dysfunction arises, the body needs to work harder to maintain that balance, which is known as allostatic load. If this load becomes significant or prolonged, it can lead to pain or discomfort.
By correcting the dysfunction, the allostatic load decreases, and the body regains its natural balance, improving both the local and general health of the person.
In conclusion, the third law of osteopathy highlights the innate ability of the human body to self-regulate and maintain balance, even in the face of dysfunction or tension.
This process depends on the harmonious interaction of all body structures, especially the connective tissue or fascia, which acts as an integrating network that distributes tensions throughout the body.
When a dysfunction overloads this network, the body increases its effort to maintain balance, generating an allostatic load that can manifest as pain or discomfort.
Through osteopathic treatment, it is possible to release these restrictions, reduce the allostatic load and restore the natural balance, promoting a comprehensive improvement in the patient's health.
