The osteopath uses the knowledge of the anatomical and functional relationships between the different regions of the body, which arise through connections such as muscle, nerves and blood vessels. These can influence and disturb each other.

What does an osteopathic treatment look like?
The first treatment starts with a detailed diagnosis, in which the osteopath informs himself in detail about the origin of the complaints. Previous medical examinations such as reports and x-rays are included. This is followed by a manual examination.
Based on the findings, an osteopathic hypothesis is made and treatment is given accordingly.
The number of treatments depends on the clinical picture and is therefore very individual.
The period between sessions is one to four weeks, so that the body has enough time to adjust.
