By Nathalie Camirand
By Nathalie Camirand
In recent years, there has been increasing discussion about the gut-brain connection and the impact of the gut microbiota on overall health. However, there has been a lack of synthesis between these findings and osteopathic concepts. That is until now. In “Axe cerveau-intestin-pelvis et ostéopathie. Cerveau abdominal,” Nathalie Camirand provides a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on this topic and integrates it with osteopathic principles.
This groundbreaking book offers a unique and expanded understanding of the abdominal brain and the immune system in relation to the gut-brain-pelvis axis (CBP axis). Building on her first book, “Axe cerveau-intestin-pelvis et ostéopathie. Cerveau encéphalique,” Camirand takes an integrative approach to address the management of inflammatory, immune, and mood disorders.
The author begins by introducing her concepts and methodology. She then focuses on the study of the gastrointestinal tract as an abdominal brain, discussing its structure, composition, nervous system, surrounding arteries, the importance of the vagus nerve, and the immune system. Finally, she compiles in a single volume all the specific tests and techniques for visceral work, as well as for working on the arteries and nerves, and explains how to integrate this work within the CBP axis.
Based on Camirand’s extensive clinical experience and complemented by nearly 250 illustrations, this second volume provides invaluable insights for practitioners looking to better understand and manage these complex issues.

The human body is a complex and interconnected system, with various parts and organs working together to maintain health and well-being. One area of growing interest is the gut-brain connection, which refers to the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. This communication occurs through various pathways, including the nervous system, immune system, and the gut microbiota.
In “Axe cerveau-intestin-pelvis et ostéopathie. Cerveau abdominal,” Nathalie Camirand explores this fascinating connection and its implications for health and wellness. Drawing on extensive research and her experience as an osteopath, Camirand provides a comprehensive overview of the gut-brain-pelvis axis and its role in various digestive, inflammatory, and immune disorders.
One of the key insights in this book is the concept of the abdominal brain. Traditionally, the brain has been associated with the head, but recent research has shown that the gut also has its own complex nervous system, often referred to as the “second brain.” This abdominal brain plays a crucial role in regulating digestion, immune function, and even mood and emotions.
Camirand examines the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract, highlighting the importance of the vagus nerve – the main pathway of communication between the gut and the brain. She also delves into the intricate relationship between the gut microbiota and the immune system, discussing the impact of dysbiosis (imbalance of gut bacteria) on immune function and overall health.
What sets this book apart is its integration of osteopathic principles and techniques. Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on restoring balance and harmony within the body. Camirand presents a range of tests and techniques specifically tailored to address dysfunctions of the digestive system, arteries, and nerves involved in the gut-brain-pelvis axis.
Throughout the book, Camirand emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare, with osteopathy serving as an integral part of the treatment plan. By addressing not only the physical aspects but also the emotional and energetic components of health, osteopaths can provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to patients.
With nearly 250 illustrations, this book is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, particularly osteopaths, looking to deepen their understanding of the gut-brain connection and incorporate osteopathic principles into their practice. It provides a clear framework for assessing and managing various digestive, inflammatory, and immune disorders, offering practitioners new tools and techniques to optimize patient outcomes.
If you are a healthcare professional interested in expanding your knowledge of the gut-brain connection and its relevance to osteopathy, “Axe cerveau-intestin-pelvis et ostéopathie. Cerveau abdominal” is a must-read. Order your copy today and embark on a journey of discovery and healing.
