Osteopathie
Osteopathy is an independent form of medical treatment that views the human body holistically as an interconnected system. Osteopathic treatment is always performed manually and follows a thorough examination.
Visceral Osteopathy
It includes all internal organs in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, all of which perform vital bodily functions. In osteopathic diagnosis and treatment, in addition to the musculoskeletal system, the organ systems, the skull, the connective tissue (the so-called fascia), and the pathways are also considered as areas of application in the body.
"When all the body's systems are in good order, there is health" – Andrew Taylor Still (founder of osteopathy)
Parietal Osteopathy
When the body is no longer able to compensate for existing misalignments, tension, blockages, and stresses, and the necessary freedom of movement is no longer sufficient, lasting functional disorders can develop. Consequently, the body no longer possesses the natural ability to independently orient itself towards health and compensate for these dysfunctions, ultimately leading to discomfort and pain. These acute, latent, or chronic pains often occur without the patient being able to identify a specific trigger.
"I believe that the human machine is a home pharmacy and that all of nature's cures can be found within it" – Andrew Taylor Still (founder of osteopathy)
Craniosacral Osteopathy
It encompasses the entire nervous system, the skull bones, and the meninges. In craniosacral osteopathy, the connection from the skull, via the spinal membranes, to the sacrum is considered highly significant. In addition to the bony structures, the central and autonomic nervous systems receive considerable attention from the osteopath.
There Osteopath
The osteopath deals with the therapy of such functional disorders and movement restrictions – within a wide range of different areas of application – and detects these through palpation skills using their hands. They first examine all parts of the entire body for tissue tension, movement restrictions, blockages, and adhesions, and then place these functional disorders within the overall context of the body and assess their relevance to the patient's prevailing complaints.
A thorough and accurate diagnosis is crucial and guides a promising treatment.
Because in order to successfully treat complaints during a therapy session, these complaints must first be understood.
