Osteopathy is a manual therapy aimed at improving the functioning of the entire human body. Every day of our lives we use our body and its functions. In the process, stress, physical or emotional strain and pressure can lead to pain and tension of all kinds. Osteopaths treat these acute and chronic pains, and they help preventively and consultatively on the way to a healthy lifestyle.

How does the osteopath work? Following a detailed preliminary interview on the medical history, the determination of the general state of health (medical records, medical tests, X-rays, ...) and various manual palpation findings, the osteopathic diagnosis is made and a treatment plan is agreed with the patient for one or more osteopathic sessions.

The osteopath will then try to restore the lost flexibility and mobility of the affected body region with targeted gentle treatment grips.

For this purpose, the osteopath will choose the most appropriate technique, which will be adapted to the patient individually according to age, physical conditions and clinical picture.

With her hands, the osteopath will try to find the parts of the body that are disturbed in their function and will try to tune them again.

When does it make sense to go to osteopathy treatment? The spine and complaints caused by it are the main reason for visits to the osteopath. The scope of treatment of osteopathy also includes many other functional disorders and is not limited to the treatment of pain.

Osteopaths do not only want to treat the symptoms, the goal is rather to localize the cause of the discomfort.
