What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a
manual therapy

Osteopathy recognizes that the body functions as a whole; disturbances in one part of the body can affect other parts and even the emotional and mental state of a person. An effective osteopathic approach, therefore, includes treating physical complaints and addressing any underlying emotional or mental stress factors that affect health. In this way, osteopathy helps restore balance between body and mind. Which is essential for achieving and maintaining optimal health and well-being.

Complaints

This is how we can help you!

Osteopathy looks for root causes of various physical complaints. Read per complaint what we can do for you.

Your first treatment

Intake interview

During the intake interview, we create a clear picture of your overall health and specific reasons for your visit. In doing so, we look at your medical history and current health conditions.

Physical examination

After the intake interview, we will delve deeper into your current complaints. Here we assess your posture, mobility, and the specific complaint areas. This examination helps us discover the underlying causes of your symptoms.

Treatment

Treatment depends on the results of the physical examination. This may include manual actions such as visceral techniques, mobilizations and manipulations. These techniques aim to restore balance to the body, reduce pain and improve functions in the region of complaint.

FAQ

What does an osteopath do?

An osteopath uses specific manual actions to correct movement restrictions and imbalances in the body. This helps reduce pain, increase range of motion and improve overall well-being.

Do I need a referral from a GP?

No, a doctor’s referral is not necessary to visit an osteopath. Clients can make an appointment right away.

What should I wear for treatment?

This depends on the area to be treated. You are often asked to remove clothing down to the underwear. Comfortable underwear or short sports shorts are therefore recommended.

Is osteopathic treatment covered by my insurance?

Osteopathy is often partially coverd under supplementary insurance policies. It is advisable to check your policy or contact your insurer for specific coverage.

What is the difference between osteopathy and physical therapy?

An osteopath looks for the root cause of complaints. This involves looking at the whole body and considering it as an integrated system. A physical therapist focuses only on the region where the symptoms are located and makes greater use of exercises to reduce these symptoms. Osteopathy takes a more “hands-on” approach. This is done by moving tissues (e.g., joints, muscles and connective tissue around organs) with the hands.
