Osteopathy

Osteopathy in Erfurt.

My osteopathic assessment considers the spine, joints, muscles, fascia, internal organs and the functional relationships between them. Which aspects matter in treatment follows from the conversation and the findings, not from a fixed programme.

Areas of osteopathic work

Structural

Assessment and treatment of the spine, joints, muscles and fascia: mobility, the distribution of tension, and patterns of strain in standing and in movement.

Visceral

The internal organs are connected to the musculoskeletal system through connective tissue, the diaphragm and the pelvis. I assess their mobility with the rhythm of breathing and treat the surrounding structures with gentle pressure.

Craniosacral and autonomic

Very gentle work at the skull, spine and sacrum, often with the autonomic nervous system in mind. It suits people who respond sensitively to stronger techniques.

Biodynamic

Perception-led work with subtle rhythmic movements and tissue tension. The hands stay largely still; the focus is on following the body's own regulatory processes.

Psychosomatically informed

The autonomic nervous system, stress, emotional strain and bodily experience are connected, and I take that into account. Physical complaints are not explained away as psychological.

I also treat pregnant women and children osteopathically. Assessment and treatment are adapted to age, the course of the pregnancy and the individual situation.

Important information

With acute, newly arisen or unexplained symptoms, a medical assessment may be advisable. Osteopathy can complement medical treatment, but it does not replace it where medical diagnosis or treatment is required.
