Praxis Quellenhof (Niederrohrdorf)

Osteopathy is a manual (performed with the hands) medical treatment that can be diagnostic, preventive and also rehabilitative. The basis of treatment is accurate diagnosis, which creates an understanding of the current symptoms and shows where and how the organism can be supported. The osteopath examines the musculoskeletal system, the organs and the tissues they connect with his hands and detects restrictions of movement. The self-regulating forces that allow the body to heal itself are stimulated through careful manual intervention. Simply put, osteopathy assumes that where movement is prevented, disease can spread. If you have a deeper interest in the mode of action and also the historical background of osteopathy. For this holistic therapy there are no criteria to exclude symptoms and complaints whose examination and treatment would not be useful. In case of known or suspected pathologies, a close cooperation with the classical medical care (e.g. with your family doctor) is of course important and explicitly desired.
