OSTEOPATHY

 OSTEO

Pathy

Osteopathy is a holistic, manual form of treatment, in which the patient is seen in his entire system.

The focus of this form of therapy is not the treatment of an illness itself, but always the individual health situation of a patient.

The goal of osteopathy is to find the origin of the stress, the origin of the discomfort. This does not always have to be in the immediate vicinity of the location of the discomfort. Many different systems in our body constantly work to create balance. The therapist's task is to perceive each of these systems and integrate them into the treatment of the conditions.

As an osteopath, I can take the time to get to know you and your body and help you activate and promote your body's self-healing powers.




The three pillars of osteopathy

In osteopathy the body is roughly divided into three different systems.

These include the internal organs (visceral), the entire nervous system (craniosacral) and the musculosceletal system (parietal).

VISCERAL

OSTEOPATHY

Visceral treatment focuses on the internal organs and their attachments. For example, the organs of the abdominal cavity with their fascial connections to the spine or pelvis are examined by the osteopath for tension, movement restrictions and adhesions.

CRANIOSACRAL OSTEOPATHY

The nervous system plays a central role in osteopathy. In addition to the central nervous system, the osteopath also examines the patient's peripheral and autonomic nervous system. In addition to looking at the nerves and meninges, the therapist also deals with tensions that can arise in the area of the skull and facial bones. The focus of the examination here is the connection of the skull via the spine to the sacrum.

PARIETAL

OSTEOPATHY

The parietal part of osteopathy is dedicated to the musculoskeletal system with its muscles, tendons, fascia, bones and joints. The focus here is primarily on the fascial system, which connects all of the body's structures with one another. The aim of treating this system is to increase its mobility and drainage and regeneration ability using osteopathic techniques.
