Manual therapy: What is the Poyet Method?

Poyet method and course of a Poyet session: The Poyet method is a manual therapy resulting from a mix between osteopathy and Chinese energy medicine. This gentle therapy was invented by Maurice-Raymond Poyet. Its goal is to rebalance the body through light touches.

The Poyet method energetic osteopathy is an original manual therapeutic practice based on the study of micro movements inherent in the human body (in other words a form of non-manipulative osteopathy) which combines softness, comprehensiveness, precision and safety.

In this article, we propose to discover What is manual therapy Poyet method, Poyet method osteopathy and the course of a Poyet session.

What is the Poyet Method?

The Poyet Method comes from osteopathy, it is a global manual therapy which takes into account the body as a whole, each element of which is intimately linked and dependent on the others.

It aims to restore the Primary Respiratory Movement (PRM) . The MRP was first described in 1 by Sutherland, osteopathic physician and disciple of Andrew Taylor Still, inventor and founder of osteopathy.

• The MRP: A tiny movement of ebb and flow, comparable to breathing. Each part of the body thus breathes in rhythm and in harmony with all those that constitute our body, thus creating a whole: our wholeness.
• The Poyet method therefore consists of reinvigorating, rebalancing and coordinating these movements of life, thus restoring to our body its own capacity for self-healing: homeostasis.
• An anomaly in a micro movement is corrected by following a very precise protocol by a digital invitation, very light and informational, on certain points of the body leading to a response of this one by a self-correction.
• This energy therapy is a gentle therapy, non-manipulative or invasive and without side effects. 
• Our cranial sphere serves as a receptor and gives us information from the body.
• It is a digital reading of our dysfunctions. The goal is to inform, adapt, give range of motion, assist the body when it needs it.
• Any disharmony leads to complications, so a local problem is never isolated and in turn leads to compensations and poor adaptations of the individual.
• In this gentle method, it is the content and precision of the message that is important and not the manipulative intensity.
• All perceptions and corrections are made in a global understanding of each.

This manual therapy can have an action on different Systems: Orthopedic, Neurological, Cardiovascular, Genitourinary, Digestive, ENT and Headache, Neurovegetative, Sequelae of trauma. It is also appreciated in infants and children. In all cases it will be necessary to find the cause and not the symptom.

Thanks to the Chinese energetics on which this method is based, we have the possibility of correcting the erroneous information stored by our system.

How did this method come about?

Energy Osteopathy was created by Maurice Raymond Poyet (1928-1996), physiotherapist and osteopath. After obtaining the title of masseur-physiotherapist in the 50s, he trained in the 70s in osteopathic techniques of the time, as well as in acupuncture with Andrée Brunel.

It is a method of care resulting from osteopathy, Chinese energy medicine and the discoveries of Mr Poyet and subsequently of Mr Jean Marchandise (doctor and former student of Poyet). This method of energetic work allows the body to be re-informed so that it can find its emotional and energetic balance itself.

Somatopathy, what is it?

Somatopathy is complementary to the Poyet Method, developed by Pierre-Camille VERNET, student of Maurice-Raymond POYET. His research and discoveries were subsequently confirmed, completed and enriched by the touch and the experience of all the practitioners and this on tens of thousands of people.

Soma = body

Empathy = ability to put oneself in other people's shoes and perceive what they are feeling

Somatopathy

• It consists in linking the physical and emotional ailments and the traumas experienced or transmitted in a transgenerational way.
• The body behaves like a receptacle for memories of lived events, emotions and fears. He set up subtle compensatory mechanisms to constantly adapt the physical structure to his environment.
• These compensatory mechanisms are reflected over time by tensions, genes, pain, weaken our mental state, induce our behavior.

Poyet method: The flow of a session

1. The interview: It is an essential part of the consultation. I retrace your medical past in the chronology, and ask you about the nature of your pain. This exchange will allow you to properly target your request, eliminate certain serious diagnoses whose management requires the competence of a doctor and adapt the care accordingly.
2. Cranial listening: Comfortably lying on a massage table, you can surrender yourself in the hands of the practitioner. This will proceed in the first place by a global listening of the body from the skull. Corrections From this information, he will inform the body of the corrections to be established by touch on specific points of the body. These gestures may be accompanied by verbalization (biological decoding) causing an exchange with the person, thus making it possible to establish the link between the physical ailments and the trauma experienced or transmitted. This awareness associated with the therapeutic gesture will trigger self-correction and lead to healing.
3. results: You will be able to begin to feel the benefits from the 1st day, that is to say in the days which follow. Indeed, this self-correction will begin to take place during the session but also over the following days or weeks. The body gradually putting in place the information recorded during the session.

The number of sessions and duration will depend on the origin and nature of your ailments. The sessions last approximately 60 minutes. But this can vary according to the problem and the sensitivity of the person.

Sometimes a single consultation is sufficient and in some cases more than one is necessary. Each person is unique and requires personalized care during the days following the consultation, it is advisable to rest in order to promote the assimilation by the body of the work done. Likewise, it will be inadvisable to carry weight or to practice an intensive sporting activity.

Energy osteopathy poyet method

It allows, from the fine listening of the cranial structures, the establishment of a peripheral somatic assessment. The harmonization is obtained by a soft digital "prompt" which causes a normalizing action on one or, simultaneously, on several disharmonies.

Joint blockage results in disruption of primary respiratory movement. The intervention restores physiological tissue respiration in the area concerned (restitution of the normality of the primary respiratory movement or PRM) and makes it possible to restore the mobility of the joints, muscles and other organs and to correct the positional aspect of the bone parts.

The intervention consists of "interrogating" the skull (listening to the cranial structure) and "sending" the corrective information to the sacrum, or other parts of the body, by a very soft touch (we speak of the "touch of" a butterfly on a flower ”).

• THE DOUCEUR: The first originality of this method energy osteopathy lies in the corrective action. Indeed the therapist acts by a gentle digital cutaneous invitation, which gives the right direction to the tissues, restores the local mechanical balance and causes chain reactions in the organism.
• COMPREHENSIVE: Patient care is comprehensive. The description of lesional chains and specific corrective points (in the sacrum but also at the extremities, hands and feet) makes it possible to act simultaneously on several disharmonies and thus to intervene at different functional levels. The effectiveness of the method / treatment is such that a single session is sometimes enough to rebalance the body.
• PRECISION: Maurice R Poyet described the mapping of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM) with great precision and almost exhaustively, from the bones and joints of the foot to the cranial sutures, including the costal cartilages and the visceral. For many of these movements, he also discovered remote readings to confirm the local diagnosis. The ability to check our subtle tapping at different levels brings precision and objectivity.
• SAFETY: Maurice R Poyet discovered various vibratory zones which have an activity similar to that of “fuses”. When the organism is too heavily stressed, by too intense trauma or by an inadequate maneuver, these “fuses” stop. It is, for the practitioner, an essential control tool!

Osteopathy Poyet method, besides the knowledge of bio-mechanisms, implies the recognition of restrictions of "mobility" and "motility" (concept of rhythms, amplitudes, forces and directions).

The method is particularly fine and precise with regard to the peripheral cranio-pelvic relations. By its spirit of globality, it comes within the framework of the theory of the laws of sets and acts on the different levels of organization of the human body.
