About me

Osteopath for animals

Living with animals since my childhood, I quickly discovered a passion for them. Motivated by the desire to help them with health and well being, I learnt about new animal medicines, and I joined the French School of Animal Osteopathy (EFOA) in Caen for 5 years of college education.

From the 1st year of study, I was able to practice on animals with: approaching the animal, learning about testings, setting up a reflection, and finally using osteopathic manipulations to treat. Moreover, the theoretical courses, which were very condensed from the beginning of the training, allowed me to acquire complete anatomical and physiological knowledge.

My plan to settle in Sweden was born out of a real crush after visiting the country and meeting people. I love everything that is set up for animals in this country, but also the Swedish way of life, and the landscapes.

My experiences

In order to refine my knowledge in several fields, I did several internships from one week to several months. In the world of racehorses (trotting and galloping), I was able to follow the learning of horses, their training, their medical follow-up, their feeding, their reproduction and the competitions. With dairy cows, I took part in the tasks to follow the daily life of a dairy cow (milking, feeding, care, maintenance...). With a shelter for dogs and cats, in order to get to know the organisation and become aware of the importance of these organisations.

During the last 2 years of studies at EFOA, I have done research work on Idiopathic Epilepsy on dogs. Here is the summary : Idiopathic epilepsy in dogs is the most common neurological pathology encountered by veterinarians. There is no curative treatment, however, as each molecule can only limit the creation of new epileptogenic zone, without systematically stopping or reducing the number of seizures. This raises the question of if other alternative medicines could bring improvements to the epileptic animal. What are the possibilities of osteopathic treatment? And could this treatment reduce the symptoms present between, during or after the seizures? This study made it possible to answer these questions by comparing the evolution of a group of dogs treated in osteopathy during three sessions to that of a group of control dogs. The decrease in the frequency of seizures was the first result mostly recovered, as well as the improvement of the recovery period after seizures, or the return to a better physical and mental state. Other less frequent results also emerged. These observations confirm the positive impact of Osteopathy on the epileptic animal, through the treatment of body dysfunctions leading to a return to health and adapted activity less permitted before.
