Therapy · Osteopathy
Osteopathy – manual, precise, holistic.
With the hands, we assess the interplay of bones, muscles, fascia and internal organs – and gently release what has fallen out of balance in the body.
"Osteopathy is diagnosis through touch – and therapy from understanding."
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is an independent form of manual medicine. It assumes that the body works as a whole: muscles, bones, fascia, internal organs and the nervous system are in constant exchange. When a movement restriction develops in one place – through injury, strain, surgery or chronic stress – it can show up as a symptom in an entirely different location.
In treatment, we palpate these connections specifically. With precise, often very gentle manual techniques, restrictions are released so the body can regulate itself again. We work on three complementary levels:
- Structural – the musculoskeletal system: spine, joints, muscles, fascia.
- Visceral – internal organs and their attachments, abdomen, pelvis.
- Craniosacral – skull, sacrum and the cerebrospinal fluid system between them.
Indications
What is osteopathy used for?
Osteopathy is not a miracle cure, but it is particularly effective where complaints cannot be clearly attributed to a single cause or where the interplay of different structures matters.
- Acute and chronic back and neck pain.
- Headaches, migraine, tension and stress consequences.
- Complaints after surgery, accidents or during the healing process.
- Functional digestive complaints, irritable bowel, abdominal pain of unclear origin.
- Musculoskeletal complaints after sport, one-sided strain or desk work.
- Supportive during pregnancy and after birth.
- Sleep disorders with a physical component.
How does a treatment work?
Initial consultation and examination
– about 60 minutes. We take time for your story: current complaints, pre-existing conditions, life situation. A careful manual examination follows.
Treatment plan
– we openly discuss what we found, what makes osteopathic sense – and what does not. You know what you are agreeing to before we treat.
Treatment
– manual techniques across the three levels, calm and precise. You are in comfortable clothing; each step is announced.
Accompaniment and follow-up sessions
– usually 2 to 6 appointments at intervals of 1 to 3 weeks. We decide together whether, when and how to continue.
Treatment duration & prices
What a treatment costs.

Health insurance recognition: Our osteopaths are recognized through EMR, ASCA and SVOAM. Swiss supplementary insurances (complementary medicine) usually cover 50–90 % of the cost. In some cantons with cantonal recognition (e.g. ZH), osteopathy can also be billed directly via basic insurance with a medical referral.
Cancellation policy: You can cancel or reschedule your appointment free of charge up to 24 hours before. Later cancellations are charged at the full rate.
