Osteopathy
What is
osteopathy?
Osteopathy can be the key to feeling healthy and fit again. Here are some important benefits of osteopathic treatment:
1
Complete approach
Osteopathy looks at the body as one interconnected whole. Not only the area of pain is treated, but other parts of the body are also examined to find the underlying causes of complaints. This holistic approach ensures a more complete and effective treatment.
2
Manual and non-invasive treatment method
De behandelingen in de osteopathie zijn volledig manueel en niet-invasief. Dit houdt in dat er geen medicijnen of chirurgische ingrepen nodig zijn. De technieken zijn gericht op het herstellen van de natuurlijke beweeglijkheid van structuren in het lichaam. Dit kan middels:
- Manipulaties: om gewrichten vrij te maken en de beweeglijkheid te herstellen.*
- Mobilisaties: om spieren en gewrichten soepeler te maken.
- Zachte technieken: om spanning in de weefsels te verminderen en de doorbloeding te verbeteren.
*Manipulaties zullen altijd uitgevoerd worden na grondig onderzoek en in samenspraak met jou.

Personalized care
Each treatment is tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of your complaint. We take into account your medical history, current symptoms, and overall state of health. This way, we work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
4
Versatility
Osteopathy can be used to treat a wide range of complaints (see the complete overview).
5
Preventive healthcare
Besides treating existing complaints, osteopathy plays an important role in preventive care. By having your body examined every now and then, tensions and movement restrictions can be detected and treated early. This can help prevent future complaints and improve overall health.
6
Stimulating the body’s self-healing ability
Osteopathic techniques focus on restoring the body’s natural balance and mobility. The treatment promotes blood circulation, improves nerve function, and activates the body’s self-healing capacity. This allows complaints to decrease naturally and helps the body function better.
7
Safety and integration
Osteopathy is a safe treatment method that can be integrated with other forms of medical care. If during the examination it appears that a complaint requires medical evaluation, the osteopath will refer you to another specialist. This ensures a responsible and comprehensive approach to your health.
8
Suitable for all ages
Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly. Treatments are tailored to the needs and condition of the patient, making it an accessible form of care for everyone.
(At the moment, we only treat children from 3 years old. From the end of 2025, we will also be able to help babies.)
