Osteopathy




The goal of osteopathy is not to combat the symptoms, but to deal with the cause.

As early as the 19th century, Andrew Taylor Still developed a form of therapy that is now known as osteopathy. Still emphasized that illness can be found everywhere, while the osteopath should look for health in people. This means giving the patient's natural healing powers a chance by eliminating blocking factors through adjustment. Osteopathy therefore represents a philosophy, a science and a diagnostic and therapeutic approach.


The focus is on four fundamental principles:


The body is a unit. The human being is a holistic unit that includes physical, psychological and spiritual aspects. This principle emphasizes the inextricable connection of all parts of the body and their mutual influence. It goes beyond the purely physical consideration and also includes environmental factors such as nutrition and psychological stress.


Structure and function are connected to each other. This principle describes the interaction between the physical structure and its function. Changes in function can lead to changes in structure and vice versa.


The regulation of circulation is important. Osteopaths pay particular attention to good blood circulation, material exchange and the neural controllability of various areas of the body. Constrictions or blockages in blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics are identified and treated in order to optimize the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue.


The body has self-regulating mechanisms. Osteopathy sees the human organism as capable of Self-regulation and self-healing. Osteopathic treatment aims to support these body's own mechanisms and correct blockages or dysfunctions.

The areas of application of osteopathy are diverse and include back and joint pain, digestive problems, headaches, tinnitus and more. Osteopathy is divided into three main disciplines:


Parietal osteopathy: This discipline focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles and fascia. The examination includes tactile examinations and the identification of movement restrictions, followed by muscle techniques, impulse techniques and fascia techniques.


Visceral osteopathy: Here the focus is on the internal organs, their suspensions and the surrounding fascia. The gentle treatment aims to improve organ mobility, organ motility and organ circulation.


Craniosacral osteopathy: This discipline is dedicated to the skull, the sacrum and the dural system (the meninges) that protects the central nervous system. Gentle techniques are intended to enable physiological mobility in these systems.
