Osteopathic massage is a holistic manual therapy that not only harmonizes the body, mind, and soul but also supports their mutual communication. This form of therapy combines massage and osteopathic techniques to deeply penetrate the nervous system and specifically stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Additionally, aromatherapy is used to activate the limbic system, which serves as a storage for all life events.
Osteopathy was developed in the late 19th century by the American physician Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. Dissatisfied with the medical practices of his time, Still sought alternative methods and founded osteopathy on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself. In 1892, he opened the first school for osteopathy, the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri, which initiated the worldwide spread of this therapy.
Osteopathy is based on the assumption that the structure of the body (e.g., bones, muscles, joints) and its function (e.g., movement, circulation) are inextricably linked. Disturbances in the structure can impair function and vice versa.
Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy that views the body as a unit. It focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of disorders of the musculoskeletal system and other body systems. Special attention is given to the optimal functioning of structures such as connective tissues, muscles, nerves, joints, and organs. Manual techniques are used to resolve movement restrictions, correct dysfunctions, and activate the body's self-healing mechanisms to promote pain-free movement, improved organ function, and overall well-being.
The osteopathic approach encompasses three main areas:
1. Parietal Osteopathy
Focuses on the skeletal system, including muscles and joints. Techniques relieve tension and improve mobility to optimize the function of the musculoskeletal system.
2. Visceral Osteopathy
Concentrates on the internal organs. Through gentle mobilization, organ tensions are relieved, function is improved, and overall balance is supported.
3. Craniosacral Osteopathy
A gentle therapy that works with the skull, spinal cord, and sacrum. Blockages are resolved and natural balance is restored to activate the body's self-healing powers.
All three areas work together in a treatment and influence each other. Osteopathy aims to enhance well-being by addressing the root cause of complaints.
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on the musculoskeletal system and its impact on health. The various effects of osteopathy aim to promote holistic health and well-being.
At our clinic, an osteopathic treatment typically involves several steps. It begins with a thorough consultation and medical history taking to understand the patient's health background and current complaints. This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination where the osteopath assesses the entire body to identify dysfunctions and imbalances. Based on these findings, a diagnosis is made, and an individual treatment plan is developed.
The actual osteopathic treatment is primarily performed with the hands. The osteopath uses various techniques to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, and promote blood circulation. Gentle pressure, stretching, and mobilization techniques are employed during this process.
After the treatment, you will receive guidance and recommendations for exercises and lifestyle changes to achieve long-term results. Depending on your needs, additional sessions may be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
