Many people have heard of osteopathy, but wonder exactly what it entails and for whom it is appropriate. Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine that focuses on identifying and treating movement limitations in the body. The basic premise is that the body is one system, in which all structures are connected. When a blockage occurs somewhere in that system, it can lead to symptoms – sometimes nearby, but sometimes in a completely different place in the body.
How does osteopathy work?
An osteopath not only looks at the spot where the complaint is manifesting, but examines the body as a whole. During a consultation, the hands are used to examine where there is loss of movement or tension. With gentle and targeted techniques, these limitations are treated so that the body can regain balance and function better.
For what complaints can osteopathy help?
Osteopathy can be useful for a wide range of complaints, such as:
-
Back and neck pain
-
Headache or migraine
-
Gastrointestinal complaints
-
Stress and tension-related complaints
-
Movement problems after injury or surgery
-
Sleep problems or fatigue
Babies and children can also benefit from osteopathy, such as restlessness, cramps or sleep problems.
Why choose osteopathy?
The uniqueness of osteopathy is its holistic approach: not only the complaint, but the entire body is included in the treatment. This often not only relieves the pain, but also addresses the underlying cause. As a result, many people experience more energy, relaxation and a better balance in their daily lives.
