BEWEGT SEIN Praxis für Osteopathie (Bubikon)

Osteopathy Osteopathy is a holistic treatment philosophy that treats functional disorders of the human body and helps the body to regain its balance and activate its self-healing powers.

Osteopathy was developed in the middle of the last century by the American physician and surgeon Andrew Taylor Still (1828 - 1917). From America it spread to Europe in the middle of the 20th century. In our country it has been known for a long time in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Already at that time A.T. Still recognized the necessity of a holistic view based on the interaction of the different body systems and made it the starting point of his treatment. In this way he reacted to the lack of knowledge in classical medicine and to its tendency to treat mainly symptoms.

Osteopathy is a science based on anatomical and physiological knowledge, incorporating and implementing the latest scientific developments in its thought.

Osteopathic treatment is based on a detailed and specific questioning of the patient. The symptoms are put into a functional anatomical and physiological context. The goal of osteopathy is not to treat the symptom, but the cause. The techniques used for this purpose are performed only with the hands.
