Osteopathy at Lake Tegernsee & Holzkirchen

How does osteopathy work? The human body possesses remarkable self-healing powers. When all structures work together harmoniously, the organism regulates itself and stays healthy. Disturbances in this finely balanced system – through poor posture, accidents, stress, or chronic overload – can impair this natural balance and lead to complaints.

This is exactly where osteopathy comes in: With trained hands, we detect movement restrictions, tension, and imbalances in the tissue and treat them specifically with gentle, precise manual techniques. We view the body holistically – because often the cause of complaints is in a completely different place than the location of the pain.

Osteopathic treatment takes place in three interlocking areas: Parietal osteopathy treats bones, muscles, joints and fascia. Visceral osteopathy addresses the internal organs and their connective tissue attachments. Craniosacral osteopathy deals with the fine interplay between skull, spine and sacrum as well as the central nervous system.

What can you expect from a treatment? An osteopathic session lasts about 60 minutes and includes a detailed medical history, a holistic examination, and the actual treatment. Many patients report noticeable relief after the first session. Depending on the condition, 3-5 treatments at intervals of 2-4 weeks are typical to achieve lasting results – your body needs time to process and implement the therapeutic impulses.
