Living abroad — whether in Spain or Colombia — can make health management even more challenging, especially when dealing with chronic pain caused by a past car accident.
Many expatriates come to ProBodyOne after years of persistent neck pain, headaches, dizziness, low-back pain, fatigue, or postural instability resulting from old injuries that were never fully resolved.
The Probodyone Method, developed by Fabrice Lefèvre, offers a comprehensive and science-based integrative approach tailored to expats who need a professional, structured and multilingual clinical environment.
1. How a Car Accident Disrupts the Spine and the Craniosacral System
A car accident — even one that happened many years ago — can cause:
- Vertebral fractures or micro-fractures
- Disc compression or tearing
- Stretching or irritation of the dura mater
- Craniosacral system dysfunction
- Fascial tension throughout the spine and pelvis
- Long-term postural imbalance
These internal dysfunctions often lead to symptoms such as:
- Chronic neck pain
- Headaches or migraines
- Dizziness or visual fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Persistent lower back pain
- Hypersensitivity or nervous-system overload
English-speaking patients in Barcelona, Madrid, Marbella, Medellín, Bogotá, Cartagena, and Cali commonly seek us out for exactly these conditions.
Through craniosacral osteopathy, we release dural tension, restore micro-mobility between the skull and sacrum, and help the nervous system regulate itself again.
2. Surgeries, Scars and Long-Term Pain: A Common Reality for Expats
Many expats have undergone:
- Spinal surgeries
- Cervical or lumbar interventions
- Disc procedures
- Invasive treatments
- Incomplete rehabilitation
- Chronic inflammation
- Fascial adhesions
These elements can create deep compensation patterns that last for years.
The ProBodyOne approach combines:
- Structural osteopathy
- Visceral osteopathy
- Craniosacral therapy
- Posturology
- Advanced myofascial techniques
- Neurosensory rehabilitation
- Micronutrition for inflammation and tissue healing
This whole-body strategy helps recover the mobility, balance and functional harmony that traditional rehab often fails to restore.
3. Postural System Disruption: A Key but Often Overlooked Factor
According to posturology experts such as Da Cunha, the global postural system can be disturbed by:
- Dural tension
- Cervical trauma
- Scar adhesions
- Ocular motor dysfunction
- Vestibular imbalance
- Proprioceptive disturbance
These dysfunctions may lead to:
- Instability
- Chronic dizziness
- Eye strain or headaches
- Balance problems
- Autonomic symptoms
- Chronic myofascial pain
Across our clinics in Spain and Colombia, we use precise osteopathic and posturological techniques to:
- Normalise neurosensory input
- Correct postural asymmetries
- Reduce strain on the craniosacral system
- Restore equilibrium and stability
4. Emotional and Neurological Impact of the Accident
A car accident leaves not only a physical imprint but also a deep emotional and neurological one.
Common patterns seen in expats include:
- Fear of movement
- Chronic stress
- Autonomic dysregulation
- Breathing blockages
- Hypervigilance to pain
- Difficulty sleeping
The ProBodyOne method integrates:
- Vagal regulation
- Gentle craniosacral work
- Neurosensory rebalancing
- Breathing and diaphragmatic release
- Somato-emotional decompression
This allows the nervous system to move out of a hyper-alert state and back into balance.
5. A Global, Integrative Approach for Real Recovery
Whether you live in Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Marbella) or Colombia (Medellín, Bogotá, Cartagena, Cali), ProBodyOne offers a complete, structured and multidisciplinary treatment model:
- Osteopathy (structural, visceral and craniosacral)
- Posturology
- Physiotherapy & functional rehabilitation
- Micronutrition
- Myofascial therapy
- Neurosensory rehabilitation
- Clinical coaching and lifestyle guidance
Our goals:
✔ Reduce chronic pain
✔ Restore mobility and spinal function
✔ Rebalance the nervous system
✔ Correct postural dysfunctions
✔ Improve sleep, stability and energy
✔ Help you regain long-term quality of life
For English-speaking expats, we also offer consultations fully in English and support adapted to the challenges of living abroad.
✨ Conclusion
Chronic pain years after a car accident is not something you must live with forever.
With an integrative osteopathic approach that addresses the physical, postural, neurological and emotional layers of the trauma, real and lasting recovery becomes possible.
If you are an expat living in Spain or Colombia and need a trusted, professional and English-friendly clinical team, the ProBodyOne Method can guide you step by step toward a healthier, pain-free life.
