What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy was founded by the American physician Dr. Andrew Tailor Still (1828-1917) in the last half of the 19th century.

He thought it would be better to use anatomy and physiology and to help the organism by improving the blood circulation and by releasing the internal and to enable the organism to function better by improving the blood circulation and by releasing the inner self-healing forces.

Osteopathy sees the body as a unity of different body systems, which in interaction with each other should enable optimal function. optimal function. Thus, the osteoarticular (bones, fascia, muscles, joints), visceral (internal organs and blood vessels of the abdomen and thorax) and the craniosacral system (skull, spine and sacrum, cerebral and spinal fluid and the nervous system with its connective tissue sheaths). This happens through mechanical, chemical or neural pathways.

If there is a problem in one of these systems, it always affects other body systems. In osteopathy, therefore, all the systems all the systems described above are always examined and treated manually.
