Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a holistic form of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues through hands-on techniques. An osteopath, or osteopathist, uses specialized methods to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities and restore balance. Osteopathy medicine emphasizes the connection between the body’s structure and function, aiming to improve overall health and well-being. In addition to traditional osteopathy treatments, we offer osteotherapy and osteopath massage, combining various techniques to address pain, improve mobility, and promote relaxation. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recent injuries, or postural issues, our osteopaths tailor each session to your individual needs, helping you achieve better health and a more comfortable lifestyle.

Peter Kvintovics

Peter offers Swedish massage with additional techniques as required. The general effects of a massage are improved circulation and better cell metabolism. It decreases stress and tiredness and improves muscle tone and regeneration. Depending on the use of the technique it may either relax or reenergize the muscles. The body is usually broken up into a number of areas that a masseur works on. At the beginning of each massage the client points out what parts of his/her body hurts or has problems, so that the masseur can focus more on that specific area.

Osteopathy Q&A

Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on manual therapy focusing on musculoskeletal issues. It involves a thorough assessment, including a medical history and physical evaluation, to develop a personalized treatment plan. Osteopathy aims to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and support overall health without the use of surgery or medication.
Osteopathy was founded in the late 1800s by Andrew Taylor Still. He aimed to optimize health through manual therapy, avoiding surgery and medication. Still’s approach emphasized the body’s ability to heal itself and the interconnectedness of structure and function, laying the groundwork for modern osteopathic practice.
Osteopathy can help with recent or chronic injuries, muscle pain, postural issues, and general musculoskeletal evaluation. It can also address related systems like cardiovascular and digestive health. By improving overall function and reducing pain, osteopathy supports recovery and enhances daily life.
Yes, osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages, including children (10+), the elderly, and those with mobility issues. Osteopaths adapt treatments for individual needs and can accommodate wheelchairs with prior notice. This inclusive approach ensures safe and effective care for diverse populations.
A visit to your doctor is not required before seeing an osteopath, but it may be necessary if you have serious conditions like cancer or congenital pathologies. If you have ongoing medical treatments, consult your doctor first and bring any relevant medical reports to your osteopathy appointment.
Osteopathy, chiropractic, and physiotherapy all involve manual therapy but differ in their approaches. Osteopathy takes a holistic view, integrating mind, body, and spirit in treatment. Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment, while physiotherapists often emphasize rehabilitation and movement restoration.
  1. How to prepare
    To facilitate an efficient examination, the patient is suggested to dress down to their underwear. Alternatively bring a pair of shorts and form-fitting upper garment (for women). We ask you to bring a large towel for your discretion and comfort.
    Please bring relevant scans, imaging, and medical reports of your injury.

  2. What to expect
    I. A complete case history is taken, during which you are questioned about your present and past health, everyday life including sports, hobbies and habits, medications (prepare a list), your objective, and expectations of the visit.
    II. An examination includes observation and a physical evaluation. You may be asked to perform specific orthopedic or neurological tests to investigate the cause of your pain.
    III. Treatment techniques may include any or all of the following:
    massage, fascial rolling, lymphatic drainage, active and passive articulation, trigger point, stretches, muscle activation (MET), high-velocity thrusts (the cracking technique),.. we discuss and ask for consent throughout the treatment.

  3. Follow-up treatments:
    Follow-up treatments are a continuation of the established treatment plan, with consideration to the progress achieved from your homework, past treatments and integrated changes to active daily living.
  4. Re-evaluation:
    If you haven’t been to the clinic in the past year, a re-evaluation is mandatory (a quick screening of your health and evaluation of the current concern).
  5. What techniques are used in Osteopathy?
Osteopathy involves various techniques such as gentle manual adjustments, stretching, muscle activation, and fascial release. Osteopaths use these methods to address musculoskeletal issues, improve mobility, and relieve pain. Techniques are tailored to each patient’s needs, aiming to restore balance and enhance overall function.
Typically, an osteopathic treatment session lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. The duration may vary based on the complexity of the issue and the treatment plan. Initial sessions might be longer due to comprehensive assessments, while follow-up sessions may be shorter as treatment progresses.
The number of osteopathic sessions needed varies depending on the condition, its severity, and individual progress. Some patients may see improvement in a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment. Your osteopath will assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly to meet your specific needs.
