The body is a biological whole.
VForm and function influence each other reciprocally.
The body has a self-healing capacity.
Research and treatment both take a holistic approach to the body. For this purpose, the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles), the body system (internal organs, blood vessels and lymph system) and the cranio-sacral system (skull, sacrum, meninges and spinal cord membrane) are manually examined for restriction or loss of motion. With the premise of the body as a unit, all mentioned structures are inextricably linked and influence each other continuously.
The osteopath examines the quality of all of these systems and the mobility of each, seeking potential causes for your symptoms. During the six-year study of osteopathy, movement of body tissue is the main focus. Mobility does not only refer to the movement of the human body, but also of all the organs, cells, nerves, muscles and bones in relation to each other.
Loss of movement can be brought on, for example, by being in an accident, illness, surgery, stress or poor nutritional and/or lifestyle habits. By treating the detected movement restrictions and restoring balance between the various systems, an osteopath enables the body to regain its ability to regenerate itself.
