Monica Majewski

Osteopath D.O. in Forest, Brussels

With my experience in physiotherapy and my specializations in GDS muscle chains, perineology and nutritherapy, I now focus my practice on osteopathy.
This natural transition allows me to accompany my patients with a holistic and respectful approach to the body.

Osteopathy

A Holistic and Respectful Approach to the Body

Osteopathy is a therapeutic approach that aims to diagnose and treat the body's dysfunctions holistically to improve balance and health.

I primarily practice gentle, tissue-based osteopathy (I don't necessarily seek to "crack" the joints). This approach favors listening to the tissues and their natural mobility rather than forced manipulations.

Fundamental Principles

Unity of the Body

Each part of the body influences the others. A local imbalance can have repercussions at a distance. The holistic approach of osteopathy takes into account the interdependence of different systems (nervous, circulatory, musculoskeletal, visceral, etc.).

Self-Regulation Capacity

The body has natural mechanisms of adaptation and self-healing. When balance can no longer be maintained, it's the beginning of pain, disease, etc. The osteopath accompanies the physiological adjustments already at work to help the organism regain health.

Structure and Function

The quality of a structure's tissues determines its function. Restoring tissue mobility optimizes the body's functioning by promoting nutrient circulation, waste drainage, and increased flexibility.

Toward a Biodynamic Approach

The osteopath does not seek to correct what is wrong. On the contrary, he listens to health, to encourage and strengthen these processes already at work.

In my continuing education in osteopathy, I'm orienting myself toward this biodynamic philosophy which consists of accompanying the health forces present in the organism rather than imposing an external correction.


The touch is more subtle and may seem immobile. However, this practice is not energetic. The result of long training, it is based on a fine listening to the tissues where the osteopath perceives the body's reactions: tensions, resistances, or releases.

Indications for General Osteopathy

  • Low back pain, back pain, neck pain
  • Feeling of "blockage" (lumbago, stiff neck, etc.)
  • Digestive, respiratory, or pelvic disorders
  • Headaches, migraines, and dizziness
  • Stress, sleep disorders, or chronic fatigue
  • After-effects of trauma, accidents

Training and Background

Initial Training

Master's in Physiotherapy, ISEK (2009-2013) - Solid foundations in anatomy, physiology, and manual therapy.


International Certificate from the Lymphatic Drainage School of Brussels, Leduc method (2013) – Treatment of lymphedema and cancer sequelae.

Complementary Specializations

Training in manual therapy of GDS muscle chains (2014-2016) – Expertise in the global approach to movement and posture adapted to the patient's predisposed terrain.


Training in perineology, SFER (2017-2019) – Expertise in pelvic function and perineal reeducation.


Assistant to Joëlle Winkel at ISEK and SFER: "The pelvis. Understanding the pelvis and its biomechanics" (2017-2019) – Expertise in perinatality and childbirth preparation.

Transition to Osteopathy

Diploma in osteopathy (D.O.), BELSO (2020-2025) – Complete 5-year training in structural, visceral, and cranial osteopathy – Expansion toward new techniques and expertise in semiology (identification of body dysfunctions).

Biodynamic Orientation

Continuing education toward biodynamic osteopathy, EDO (2025-…) – Integration of principles of listening to health and accompanying natural healing processes.

What is a D.O. Osteopath?

The D.O. (Diploma of Osteopathy) title represents a diploma of 5 full years of higher education in osteopathy, equivalent to a university master's degree. This in-depth training certifies complete expertise in anatomy, physiology, semiology (diagnosis) and osteopathic techniques in their three dimensions: structural, visceral and cranial.

In Belgium, the D.O. title guarantees that the osteopath has completed recognized, complete and rigorous training, distinct from a simple complementary course. This qualification ensures patients receive professional care from a practitioner who has acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to practice osteopathy autonomously and safely.

My Specializations in Osteopathy

For perineal reeducation, childbirth preparation, and postural reeducation in GDS muscle chains,
I invite you to visit my physiotherapy website:

www.kine-majewski.be

Perineology

For almost 15 years, I have specialized in pelvi-perineology. I chose to do my final thesis in osteopathy on endometriosis. I also accompany women in perinatality.

Indications:

  • Endometriosis, Painful Periods
  • Pelvic, vaginal, and vulvar pain
  • Urinary disorders, Incontinence, Prolapse
  • Constipation, Hemorrhoids
  • Vaginismus, Dyspareunia
  • Perinatality (pelvic pain, nausea, postpartum)

GDS Muscle Chains

Global approach to postural imbalances and gestures. This method allows understanding the body's compensations and restoring a sustainable functional balance.

Indications:

  • Chronic musculoskeletal pain
  • Postural disorders (scoliosis, kyphosis, etc.)
  • Gait imbalances
  • Recurrent cervical tensions (hernias, etc.)
  • Injury prevention (sprains, tendinitis, etc.)
  • Digestive, respiratory, or pelvic disorders

Osteopathic Integration

These specializations now find their natural extension in tissue osteopathy. The fine understanding of the pelvi-perineal system and myofascial chains considerably enriches the osteopathic approach, allowing an even more holistic and precise care for each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about osteopathy? Here are the answers to the most common questions from my patients.

What is the difference between osteopathy and physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy mainly aims to rehabilitate an injured structure (sprain, tendinitis, fracture, surgery, etc.). The work is often localized and focused on the area in pain. Osteopathy, on the other hand, seeks to restore a function by improving tissue mobility. It considers the body as a whole to understand the origin of a mobility restriction (torticollis, low back pain, etc.).

How many osteopathy sessions are needed?

The number of sessions varies depending on the issue and each patient's individual response. For recent acute pain (lumbago, stiff neck), 1 to 3 sessions are generally sufficient. For chronic issues or established postural imbalances, follow-up of 4 to 6 spaced sessions may be necessary. During the first consultation, I establish with you a treatment plan adapted to your situation.

How does an osteopathy session proceed?

The first consultation lasts approximately 60 minutes. It begins with a detailed interview (anamnesis) about your consultation reason, medical history, and lifestyle. This is followed by a clinical examination (observation, mobility tests) then the osteopathic treatment adapted to your needs. I practice gentle, tissue-based osteopathy, prioritizing tissue listening rather than forced manipulations.

What is tissue osteopathy?

Tissue osteopathy is a gentle and respectful approach that prioritizes listening to tissues and their natural mobility rather than forced manipulations or joint "cracking." The touch is subtle and may seem still, but it allows fine perception of tensions and accompanies the body's natural self-regulation processes. This approach is particularly suitable for sensitive patients, children, and delicate situations (perinatal care, osteoarthritis, inflammatory conditions).

Can osteopathy help with endometriosis?

Yes. Specialized in perineology and having completed my final thesis on endometriosis, I have specific expertise in supporting this condition. Osteopathy does not cure endometriosis, but can relieve pelvic pain, improve tissue mobility, promote circulation, and reduce tensions related to adhesions. The osteopathic approach integrates into multidisciplinary care (gynecologist, physiotherapist, nutritionist).

Do you offer perineal reeducation?

For perineal reeducation as such (postpartum, incontinence), I invite you to visit my physiotherapy website: www.kine-majewski.beHowever, in osteopathy, I treat pelvic, vaginal and vulvar pain, endometriosis-related disorders, pelvic tensions in perinatality, and global imbalances affecting the pelvic sphere.

When should you consult an osteopath?

You can consult for acute pain (lumbago, stiff neck, sprain), chronic pain (recurring back pain, migraines), functional disorders (digestive, respiratory, pelvic), for prevention (postural assessment, athlete follow-up), or during major changes (pregnancy, postpartum, after surgery). Osteopathy also accompanies in cases of stress, chronic fatigue or following physical or emotional trauma.
