Osteopathie Andreas Forlin

Osteopathy is a diagnostic and therapeutic treatment that can be used to identify and treat functional disorders of the whole body. Osteopathy is a holistic form of therapy and is therefore not limited to combating the symptoms, but gets to the root cause.

The various functions of the organism are closely interrelated. The body therefore forms a unit consisting of muscles, connective tissue, bones and organs, which should not be viewed in isolation but are interdependent.

The starting point of osteopathy is the connective tissue. This runs through the entire body like a spider's web. Any disorders that occur are transferred from one part of the body to another via the connective tissue. The aim of osteopathy is to eliminate the cause of the disorders. This is done by stimulating the body's natural forces, which in turn stimulates the body's self-healing powers.

Both diagnosis and therapy are performed manually. The osteopath feels for any tension and loosens the muscles with special hand movements, activates the nerves or improves the flow in veins, arteries and lymph channels. In this way, the body's self-healing powers are activated.

Osteopathy is not a magical art, but requires in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, embryology and pathology.
