What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a differentiated method of manual medicine. It is the art of "reading" bodily tensions with the hands, understanding bodily connections holistically and being able to release and regulate tensions accordingly. This needs a lot of intuition and skill, because the solution for pain and restriction is sometimes found in unexpected places: thus can back pain originate from a misalignment of the foot or knee - or shoulder pain can be caused by tensions of the jaw and neck. The aim of the treatment is to optimally lead the patient towards freedom of pain, freedom of movement and well-being.

When is treatment right for you?

My goal is to help you

Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to improve your mobility. Treatment can support you if you suffer from back or neck pain, have limited joint mobility, or regularly experience headaches and migraines.

I also guide you back to full strength after sports injuries. Additionally, I help with posture problems and tension caused by daily life or work, as well as discomfort during and after pregnancy.

Whether you're recovering from an injury or want to improve your mobility in the long term – together we'll find the right approach for you.

Pain & Restrictions

This is my core work! Osteopathic and physiotherapeutic treatment is a crucial and effective approach for overcoming persistent or recurring physical complaints, as well as limitations caused by accidents and injuries.

Through its holistic approach, osteopathy often opens up new perspectives and possibilities, even for long-standing conditions.

I don't just focus on the affected area, but view the entire body as an interconnected system. Often, the root cause of discomfort lies somewhere completely different from where the pain is felt.

Using targeted manual techniques, I release blockages, improve circulation, and support your body's natural healing abilities. Together, we create the foundation for lasting improvement.

Check-Up & Prevention

How do I stand? How do I sit? Do I have restrictions in my pelvis, spine, or shoulders? It's worth taking a closer look!

Through therapy, different areas of the body can be brought into harmony, and restrictions or tension can be released to help you stay healthy and fit. This way, many problems can potentially be avoided.

Whether from prolonged sitting at the office, one-sided strain, or physical activity – our body adapts, and not always to our benefit. Regular check-ups reveal imbalances before they lead to discomfort.

It's not just about treatment, but also about understanding your own body. With personalised exercises and practical tips, I support you in staying mobile and pain-free in the long term.

Self Development & Performance Enhancement

It feels wonderful to be healthy and strong. Many physical limitations actually go unnoticed in daily life. Fortunately! And yet, restricted movement and tension can affect us subconsciously. A good sense of body awareness and physical balance can help you tackle your challenges more effectively, both in sports and in your professional life.

Imagine waking up in the morning without tension, feeling energised throughout the day, and winding down relaxed in the evening. This sense of wellbeing is no coincidence. It's the result of a body in balance. I help you achieve this state and maintain it for the long term.

Referral & Reimbursement

I offer a medical treatment, which requires referral from your family doctor or a specialist (e.g. orthopaedist). Most commonly you will receive a combination of "Einzelheilgymnastik" (EHG)/ physiotherapy and "Heilmassage".

The cost of a treatment session is 120,00 € and it usually takes 50 minutes. The volume and frequency of your treatment will be set individually according to your needs.

Since I am a registered physiotherapist, you will be reimbursed the cost of your treatment either partially or in full, depending on your health insurance.

About Me

I am a studied physiotherapist and trained osteopath with over 10 years of professional experience. I practice my profession with enthusiasm and look forward to every professional challenge.

It is particularly important to me not to treat "body parts" but people in their entirety. No disease develops in a "vacuum". It is always part of the physical and mental overall context. In order to bring about a profound improvement in many physical complaints, it is crucial to keep an open view to avoid missing important details.

And to meet my patients with understanding and patience in order to find a common path towards health.
