Osteopathy is a practical, holistic form of healthcare that focuses on restoring freedom of movement and proper function in all body tissues.
Its basic principle is that optimal health depends on optimal movement throughout all tissues of the body. When tissues become restricted due to overuse, strain, or external influences, pain or illness can develop.
Movement is essential for a well-functioning body, and Osteopathy aims to restore and maintain this freedom of movement. Restrictions, whether caused by external factors or internal processes, can affect different types of tissues.
Restrictions can occur in:
Because of this, an osteopath’s assessment is typically very extensive and is often described as holistic, as it considers the body as a whole. The goal of treatment is to identify and address the underlying restriction or blockage, thereby supporting the body’s natural self-healing ability.
Osteopathy can help with a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, digestive, and stress-related complaints, including:
Birth is an intensive process in which a lot of tension can develop in a baby’s body, for example in the skull, spine, and pelvis. Sometimes the body recovers from this on its own, but not always. In babies, this can therefore also lead to complaints, often resulting in a “crying baby.”
The osteopath examines the baby in a respectful and gentle way. The overall functioning of the child is assessed: the musculoskeletal system, the organ system, and the craniosacral system. By gently treating any restrictions in the early tissues or dysfunctions in the skull bones in rhythm with the body, the tissues regain their freedom of movement. This helps the baby to grow optimally and symmetrically, reaching its full potential.
