FAQ - Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system and its relationship to overall wellbeing.

Osteopathy is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and licensed therapist. However, it is important to disclose any underlying health problems or concerns to your osteopath.

Osteopathic treatment involves manual techniques such as stretching, manipulation and massage to improve the body's function and promote self-healing.

Osteopathy can be helpful for pregnancy complaints such as back pain, pelvic pain and postural changes. However, it is important to consult your doctor before starting osteopathic treatment during pregnancy.

Yes, osteopathy can also be very useful for children. It is a gentle and non-invasive form of therapy that can help with a wide range of complaints. Here are some reasons why osteopathy can be useful for children:

• Compensate for birth consequences: Birth can be stressful and distressing for a baby. Osteopathy can help to relieve any tension or blockages.
• Sleep problems: Osteopathic treatments can help improve sleep problems by helping to relax the nervous system.
• Digestive problems: Osteopathy can help relieve digestive problems such as colic, constipation or reflux.
• Headache: For older children, osteopathy can help relieve headaches and migraines.
• Behavioural problems and learning difficulties: Some studies suggest that osteopathic treatments can have a positive impact on behavioural problems and learning difficulties.

As with any form of therapy, it is important that the treatment is carried out by a qualified professional.

If you have statutory insurance and supplementary insurance, we need the details (name) of the supplementary insurance. The invoice you receive as a "purely" legally insured person is not sufficient for the supplementary insurance! If an invoice is issued "incorrectly" due to missing information, we unfortunately cannot make any retroactive changes.

An osteopathic treatment usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on individual needs. Learn more about the topic here.
