“Our body is the expression of our true health.”

Touch - feel - understand the body in its wholeness.

Symptoms are generally just the tip of the iceberg. Human beings can never be considered in isolation from their environment or life history, and each body has therefore undergone different experiences. Physical or emotional injuries, stress, an unhealthy lifestyle or illness can leave their mark on our bodies. The body can often compensate for problems over a long period of time and resolve them on its own. But sometimes injuries leave their mark and symptoms appear that are difficult for us to understand. These can manifest themselves in different ways, typically as pain and restricted movement, or in less specific ways, such as a feeling of inner restlessness or exhaustion. As a complementary medicine, osteopathy offers a holistic concept of diagnosis and therapy. It is based on knowledge of the anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and embryology of the human body. Osteopathy seeks to restore the body's disrupted functions by detecting and treating the causes of pain and functional disorders. The basic idea is that our musculoskeletal system, cranium and spinal cord, as well as our internal organs, are interconnected systems linked by fine networks of tissues (fascias). Gentle manipulations are designed to eliminate blockages in these connections and activate the body's self-healing powers.

Osteopathy works holistically and is not limited to the problem area.

The purpose of osteopathic treatment is not only to eliminate the symptoms of a physical ailment, but also, and above all, its cause. Osteopaths work with their hands, without the use of any tools or medication, and use their knowledge of the various relationships between the body's different systems to try to positively influence the tissues where the causes of the condition may lie. By working with the nervous system and balancing tensions at different levels, the original causes of the symptom itself can be revealed.

Osteopathy knows no age limits. As a complement and extension of modern medicine, it speeds up the healing of many disorders. Often, a few sessions are enough, but chronic disorders require longer-term therapy. Gentle techniques can be applied even in cases of weakened constitution or osteoporosis. However, for newborn babies and children, there are osteopaths who specialise in paediatrics.

It is important to note that osteopathy is a gentle method of treatment. This is why many patients underestimate the effects of the session. If possible, it is advisable to allow time for rest in the days following treatment. Patients may feel tired or sore for up to 4 days after the treatment, and may need more rest. The body's real work begins after the treatment, so it is important to listen to its needs.

Many health insurance funds now reimburse costs on a proportionate basis, as an optional supplementary benefit. The amount of reimbursement varies widely. In most cases, maximum amounts per session or per year are set. It is also important that you come with a German prescription from a doctor for your sessions. Please check with your health insurance fund before treatment.
