Osteopathy is a non-invasive healing method focused on locating deep-seated causes of physical symptoms, releasing these restrictions, and thereby allowing the body to reactivate its own self-healing forces and thus return to its dynamic equilibrium. Osteopathy can both provide the primary diagnosis as well as be used as an adjunct and complement to conventional medical treatments. It may also be helpful in cases in which standard medical treatment methods have reached their limits.

In osteopathy, the body is perceived as a dynamic unit of multidimensional systems that continuously interrelate and affect each other. This also means that a restriction occurring in one of these systems can interfere with the balance of all the other systems. Therefore, it is possible that the causes of symptoms, such as pain, are located in places farther away in the body. Being a holistic therapy, osteopathic diagnosis not only considers somatic components and lifestyle as the origin of symptoms but regards mental and social factors as equally influential. Often it is an interplay of all these elements that is involved in the genesis of physical dysfunctions – in a relaxed atmosphere we will seek to understand the roots of such malfunctions in your individual case together.

The osteopathic treatment, finally, is characterised by a wide range of manual techniques, which will be used to gently work on the tissues and fluids of the body. The aim is to release restrictions and tensions and to restore the systems' natural balance - giving the body an opportunity to regenerate and to reintegrate all its elements into a functioning unity. In combination with this, we might also explore posture and movement exercises, as well as changes in habits and lifestyle (e.g. diet), in order to assist and encourage you in your healing process with a sustainable and self-determined approach.
