Claire Duren, D.O.Osteopath · Physiotherapist by training
Find where the pain comes from, not only relieve it
Gently restore the body’s mobility
Take posture, activity and personal history into account
Bring in mindfulness to release tension for the long term
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that looks at the body as a whole. Rather than treating only the place that hurts, the osteopath looks for what made the body lose its mobility: a joint, a muscle, fascia, posture or long-standing tension. It is not about “cracking” joints, but about working precisely on the tissues to restore mobility and relieve pain.
At the CIRCAE centre in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Claire Duren has practised osteopathy since 1990. A physiotherapist by training (ISCAM), she qualified as an osteopath D.O. at the IWGS and continues her training at the Sutherland College of Osteopathic Medicine; she also brings mindfulness into her practice. She sees patients of every age, from babies to older adults, and works closely with the centre’s doctors and therapists.
The main situations treated with osteopathy at the centre.
Acute or chronic lower back pain, locked back, sciatica: hands-on work to regain mobility and everyday comfort.
Stiff neck, neck pain, shoulder tension and headaches linked to muscle tension or posture.
Very gentle techniques suited to the very young: stiff neck, flat head (plagiocephaly), discomfort after birth; then the growing child.
Back and pelvic pain during pregnancy, and support for the body after childbirth, with suitable techniques.
Joint and muscle pain, recovery after exercise and injury prevention, alongside sports medicine.

Your medical history, symptoms, activity and lifestyle: understanding the context to find where the pain comes from.
