The body as a whole<\/h2>\n

The osteopathy approaches the body as a whole. The osteopath often doesn\u2019t cover one specific condition, but looks at the whole body. The aim is to support the self-healing power<\/strong> of the body.<\/p>\n

Connection<\/h3>\n

The cause and solution of one’s pain is therefore often not in the region where the pain is felt. An osteopath knows which body tissues among themselves connect<\/strong> to each other and how this may affect each other. For this reason, the osteopath checks the whole body and relevant sections on dexterity and other functioning. Then the osteopath treats there where he expects the solution on the basis of detailed knowledge of the body. An osteopath conducts the research and treatment with his hands.

The osteopath works exclusively with his hands. He loosens things that have to be loosened and thus helps with – mostly – soft handles the body to recover. It is a gentle healing form<\/strong>. This in contrast to crack or some other form of manual therapy.<\/p>\n
