About me
Luc Bellot osteopath
As a graduate from the internationally renowned European School of Osteopathy, Maidstone, U.K. I hold a B,Sc in Osteopathy. Osteopathy is the art of diagnosing and treating by hand the loss of movement with or within the different body parts in order to improve health.
In the 14 years since graduation in 2001 I’ve attended numerous and extensive post-graduate courses in the management of acute and chronic disorders in adults, teenagers and babies.
Prior to settling in in Ireland I gained valuable experience in osteopathy in New Zealand, France and Scotland. Since 2010 I have run a busy practice in Co.Cork, overlooking Coolmain Beach, between the villages of Kilbrittain and Ballinspittle, where I see patients from all over Ireland.
My approach to treatment
I practise cranial osteopathy exclusively as it’s safe, gentle, non invasive and one of the most effective way of treating people by hand.
My approach is thorough and precise reflecting my understanding that the body is a holistic unit and all body parts are interconnected. My approach is to examine the body thoroughly to see how the parts of the body are functioning individually and how well they are integrated in general biomechanics. I diagnose precisely the structures which need treatment and work with the body to treat the blockages to free the body to heal.

What does osteopathy treat ?
Osteopathy is a well-established manual medicine and is recognised by the World Health Organisation. The main emphasis in osteopathy is on the structural and functional integrity of the body.-
Treatments
Osteopaths recognise that much pain and reduced mobility is the result of imbalances in the body mechanics. The aim of osteopathy is to correct these imbalances, which in turn makes it easier for the body to function normally and to minimise the chances of the symptoms recurring in the future.
Osteopathy complements classical medicine and is not a substitute. The first part of the osteopathic consultation allows the osteopath to find out if your complaint is within his competency or if you need to consult another health care professional.

Pain is the chief reason patients seek osteopathy: back pain, muscular spasms, joint pain, nerve pain (sciatica), tendinitis, headache, jaw pain.
First a precise diagnosis is key to determine the cause of the symptoms. In an osteopathic treatment the assessment of the patient is like detective work, while the treatment is surprisingly gentle.

It is always a good idea to bring your newborn baby in for a check up with an osteopath after birth during the first few weeks of life.
A lot happens during labor and babies are designed to cope with and recover from a fair amount of physical pressure on their body and head. Sometimes, however, the pressure associated with labour remains stuck in the system of the newborn in the form of compression or twisting patterns, with adverse consequences on their well being (plagiocephaly or “flat head syndrome”, torticolis, colic, sleep disturbances).
The osteopath very gently releases tensions in the baby’s skull and at other specific body points. A baby’s reactions vary depending on cases: some laugh, some cry and others fall asleep, but whatever happens, an osteopathic treatment for a baby is always gentle and never painful.

Children live an active life and tend to fall a lot. They pick themselves up and keep going but some injuries leave a mark in their bodies, which affects the way they develop and grow. Children grow rapidly, and they need to grow straight. Osteopathy can assist with normal growth and development in the child.
The osteopath has an important preventive as well as curative mission towards avoiding scoliosis, or S shape curvature of the spine. It is important to start treatment as soon as possible as the sooner the treatment is started the better the results will be.

During the 9 months of pregnancy a mother’s body undergoes tremendous changes and often functional disorders arise – for example back pain, rib pain, sciatica, gastric reflux.
Osteopathy is very effective in treating these disorders by optimizing the pregnant woman’s general biomechanics, while improving the baby’s comfort.
After the delivery it is a good idea to come to the osteopath to have a check up.
