How does an osteopathic treatment work?

Osteopathy is not limited to the treatment of individual symptoms, but always sees the person as a whole and tries to find and promote health in the illness.

After a detailed anamnesis (questioning), the therapy is carried out with the hands. During the examination, the osteopath can feel (palpate) the human tissue layer by layer. In this way, he detects movement restrictions and tension. Palpation is the basis of osteopathic treatment. It is not only possible to recognize the condition, the temperature, the tension, the mobility of the skin, but also to explore the underlying tissue, the muscles, ligaments, fascia, bones and internal organs and to get away from the expression of the whole Let yourself be guided. Our osteopathic treatment lasts an average of 45-70 minutes. The body can react for about two to three weeks, which means that the symptoms can also temporarily worsen. Each new therapy session is individually tailored to the patient's symptoms. Studies show that after four osteopathic treatments there is usually an improvement in the symptoms, but many show a tendency to improve after the first treatment. However, the exact course depends on the individual case.
