An American doctor, Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917), went looking for a new understanding of health and disease. The basis for osteopathy is formed on the basic understanding that the body contains all it requires to maintain its own health (self-healing powers) and that the mind, body and spirit are form a single unit.

In osteopathy, the person is divided into three main areas:

• Parietal (musculoskeletal system, connective tissues)
• Visceral (abdominal organs)
• Craniosacral (skull, spinal fluid, meninges, sensory organs, sacrum)

When is osteopathy used?

In infants and young children, for example, birth-related facial and cranial deformations, scoliosis, infections in the middle ear cavity, allergies, KISS syndrome, colic children, torticollis, hip deformities, learning and concentration difficulties and to regulate jaw structure.

In adults, for example, acute back pain or tension, joint problems, traumas, migraines, tinnitus, headaches, TMJ/TMD disorders, minor digestive problems, (heartburn, depressive moods), burnout syndrome, menstrual pain, menopausal or pregnancy monitoring, scars and adhesions after an operation.

How does osteopathy work?

Through touch with special manipulations the osteopath will relieve tension and restore balance in and around these systems to help the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Refunding of costs

The costs for osteopathy are usually covered by supplementary health insurance. Ask your health insurance provider for more details.

According to ancient Asian belief, life energy is superior to all other physiological functions. It circulates in the body through so-called meridians. Blockages are caused by a localized excess or deficiency of life energy. An acupuncture massage locates these points and regulates them with a needle or softly with the fingertips. The static treatment that follows allows the therapist to manipulate the spine and joints very gently and yet extremely effectively.

Symptoms

Chronic joint complaints, chronic back pain, pelvic obliquity, functional differences in the length of the legs, migraines, chronic headaches, general deterioration of energy function.

Refunding of costs

Please refer to your health insurance provider to find out if they cover the costs of the therapy.

Acupressure is a therapeutically applied healing method in which blunt pressure is put on the body at defined points (on so-called acupoints on the energy pathways). The thumbs, palms, elbows, etc. are used to exert the pressure. This is a complementary therapeutic method, which is used in particular in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This Asian healing tradition was already established 200 years before Christ. It is a component of the Chinese Tuina massage.

Indications
Stress-related complaints, headaches, migraines, menstrual cramps, acute and chronic pain, allergies, sleep disorders, immune deficiencies, cramps, digestive disorders, pregnancy and birth support, breathing difficulties, etc.

Refunding of costs
Please refer to your health insurance provider to find out if they cover the costs of the therapy.

Tuina, a manipulative form of Chinese Medicine, is used to address problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, organs and the functions of organs. The various manipulative techniques regulate the qi (energy) and blood in the channels / meridians, removing blockages and stimulating the flow of energy. The name Tuina comes from the massage terms TUI (push) and NA (grasp). It involves the techniques of pushing, rubbing and pulling, and pressure is applied to the acupuncture points. Pediatric Tuina is a special kind of Tuina. Acupuncture and Tuina are used on adults and children, younger and older patients.

A medical massage improves the blood circulation and metabolism and therefore reduces tension and pain in the muscles as well as the entire body. It improves the patient’s performance and regeneration, whilst simultaneously purifying and detoxing the body. Different manipulation techniques and intensities are applied to achieve the objectives.

Sports massage

A sports massage is a variation of the classic massage. It plays an important role in preparing for training and competitions, or after great physical exertion with the aim of restoring previous performance levels. The massage techniques are individually tailored to suit the athlete, i.e. His/her type of sport and his/her ultimate objective (stimulation, improved performance, regeneration, relaxation or injury prophylaxis).

Trigger point therapy

TP therapy is used to target local cramps in the muscle tissue. It is often applied to ease painful conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, headaches, injuries, susceptibility to injuries and to prevent discomfort.

Lymphatic drainage

The lymphatic system is stimulated through gentle, rhythmic and slow pumping manipulations (pressure), which promotes the drainage of lymphatic fluids from the tissue. Lymphatic drainage is used for swelling after an injury, surgery and congenital disorders of the lymphatic system. It is also used for certain types of headaches and migraines.

The massage services can partly be billed via the additional insurance. Please check in advance whether your health insurance company accepts the therapist or treatment methods and covers the costs.
