About Osteopathy
Osteopathy emphasizes the relationship between the body's structure and function. The approach considers all aspects of health and aims to facilitate the body's ability to self-regulate, primarily through manual treatment.
The purpose of treatment is to restore impaired function, reduce pain, and improve the body's capacity for long-term physical health. The treatment is performed with my hands through direct techniques, such as joint manipulation, and gentler techniques targeting muscles and connective tissue, all in agreement with the patient.
By improving function, the treatment affects circulation, the lymphatic system, and the nervous system, allowing the body's self-healing to function optimally. In osteopathy, holistic thinking is fundamental. This means that treatment is directed at the physical stresses affecting the problem area, including local treatment.
The osteopath always considers the individual's general condition when choosing treatment strategy and technique. Should there be a need to see another healthcare provider, recommendations will be given.
Some examples of conditions that can be treated:
- Back and neck pain
- Sciatica
- Muscle and joint pain
- Headaches
- Strains
- Tennis or golfer's elbow
- Degenerative conditions
- Stress-related issues
Treatment Methods
Since the foundation of osteopathy is that each person is unique, different treatment methods are required to restore the body's balance. I practice the following treatment methods:

Quick, light, and specific movements to restore normal mobility in joints where movement is restricted.
