Osteopathy is a holistic healing method that supports the body's inherent healing powers to achieve health. It is based on profound knowledge of anatomy, neurology, physiology, pathology and embryology.
Osteopathy understands health as a balanced state of the body in which the tissues can move and adapt free of tension. The body coordinates all vital functions in constant interaction with each other. If the ability of individual body structures to move is restricted, their function is impaired. Over the course of months or years, entire chains of tension can form in the body. The organism often reacts to changes over a long period of time with adaptation and compensation. However, if adequate and sufficient regulation is no longer possible, the person becomes ill and reacts with pain, movement and functional disorders. In this state, the body's self-healing powers are severely limited.
