the EXAMINATION

The osteopath will not only examine your body for the current problems or complaints, but also your complete body - from head to toe. For this purpose, you will be asked to get undressed, except for your underwear, unless you have any objections.

Your body will be carefully examined while you are standing, sitting and lying down. The examination will include your musculoskeletal system (with particular focus on the pelvis, spine and cranium) and your internal organs. Also the function of the diaphragm, the nervous system, the blood vessels and the fluids will be manually evaluated.

The data collected will allow the osteopath to understand where the malfunctions in your body are located and how they connect to your symptoms. Your symptoms are thus analyzed in a “total body” context.

Based on detailed knowledge and understanding of anatomical structures, physiology, biomechanics and other correlations of tissue structures, the osteopath understands how a particular dysfunction may affect other parts of the body.
