To find health - should be the object of the osteopath. Anyone can find disease. A.T. Still
What is Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic form of medicine that focuses on the individual and not on the disease.
​
Every single human is a marvelous entity of innumerable parts and functions that work together to constantly create a harmonious balance. Pregnancy, childbirth, illness, accident, disability, surgery, workload or lifestyle can affect this unity and cause discomfort.
​
The aim of an osteopathic treatment is to get to the bottom of the causes of your symptoms, to promote your self-healing powers and thus to create a new balance.

How osteopathy works
Imbalances of all kinds may lead to a disturbance in the perception of one's wellbeing. Regardless of the origin of such complaints, self-healing abilities are best activated by giving attention to all different levels of a human existance. For that reason, I approach any complaint holistically by integrating the following aspects:​
​
-
Structure – spine, bones, joints und ligaments, musculature and tendons, as well as their functions
-
Viscera & Immunity – organs and their functions
-
Arteries & Peripheral Nerves – supply of all tissues with nutrients and information
-
Veins & Lymphatics – drainage of cellular waste products of all tissues
-
Fascia – connection of all tissues
-
Central- & Autonomic Nervous System – voluntary and involuntary regulation of all tissues and their functions
-
Craniosacral & Biodynamic Osteopathy – energetic equivallent of all structures, their functions and relationship to the Whole
-
Infant- & Children Osteopathy – children are not «small adults»! They require special care and
treatment:
Why and when should babies be treated after birth
Birth trauma (e.g. caesarean section) can be treated gently with osteopathic treatment. The earlier your child's self-healing powers are activated, the better.​

After successfully completing their osteopathic training, therapists have undergone further training in accordance with the guidelines of the working group «osteopathic treatment of children». They have many years of practical experience in the treatment of children.
When all systems of the body are in their normal position, then every part is in proper condition for health. A.T. Still
About the treatment
The difference between the initial and any follow-up treatment is that more time is required for the history taking and the physical examination. The obtained information is vital for the formulation of an osteopathic diagnosis, prognosis and the development of an efficient treatment plan:
​
-
History Taking – may cover all aspects of life and serves to better understand the potential causes leading to the complaint
-
​Examination – serves to find a cause for the complaint and to formulate a diagnosis
-
Treatment – is based on a holistic rational and a diagnosis
-
Advice – about naturopathic treatment aspects such as: diet, physical activity, sport, yoga, meditation or breathing techniques. These are all important cofactors for healing
-
​Cancellation of appointment – free of charge, if made at least 24 hours prior to the appointment

About me and my professional development
My professional career started with a focus on the financial industry for which I worked on different continents. That gave me a fantastic oppertunity to explore 'the world'. In that process, I slowly started to realize that the chosen path did not give me a deep inner satisfaction. Dispite of all these contradictions in my life, I at least knew that I had the desire to work with other humans.​
​
So I started my quest by exploring my non-financial talents by participating in various trainings such as: Yoga Teacher, Thai-Yoga Massage Therapist and whathaveyou. However powerful these alternative therapies may be, they are generally not suited to relieve acute conditions. Finally, I received a cue from a friend, whose children were successfully treated by an osteopath.
I was intrigued by the vaste range of osteopathic treatment possiblities. Within a few months I terminated my banking career and prepared myself for the studies in osteopathy and hence found my calling.
