The principle of osteopathy states that all body systems (bones, joints, muscles, organs, vessels, nerves, etc.) are interconnected. These influence each other. Thus, the body functions as a unit and tries to always remain in balance.

The prerequisite for this self-regulation is optimal functioning of all body systems. In order for these systems to work together properly, the free mobility of each individual body structure must be guaranteed. If this is not the case, we speak of dysfunction. Such a dysfunction prevents the body from activating its own self-healing powers. Symptoms such as pain appear, which present themselves as a result of a number of different dysfunctions. It becomes obvious that self-regulation is overtaxed.

Mainly functional dysfunctions of the different body systems are treated in people of all ages. In case of serious or acute diseases and strong structural-inflammatory changes, the treatment must be accompanied by orthodox medicine.
