The Approach

Osteopathy is a manual therapeutic approach that aims to restore the body’s balance by working on muscles, joints, the digestive system, and the nervous system. It helps relieve many functional disorders such as back pain, neck tension, migraines, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and pregnancy-related pain. By addressing the root causes of imbalances, osteopathy offers a natural and lasting solution to many everyday ailments.

Diagnosis and Manual Treatment

In Switzerland, osteopathy is a recognized and regulated healthcare profession that requires studies at a specialized university of applied sciences. Osteopaths work primarily with their hands to assess the body and apply specific techniques designed to restore mobility. Their goal is to support the body’s natural functions and stimulate self-healing. Osteopathy always considers the individual as a whole, taking into account their unique situation.

What to Expect During a Session

An osteopathic session begins with a thorough discussion of your health, lifestyle, medical history, existing results, and any ongoing treatments. The osteopath then uses manual examination to detect tension and blockages affecting the body’s balance. Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan is developed. Various techniques may be used, such as joint manipulation, fascial work, or the Counterstrain method. Each session typically ends with practical advice for daily life. Noticeable improvement is usually seen after three to four sessions. If necessary, the osteopath can adjust the treatment plan or refer you to other specialists.
