How can an ostheopath help you?
During the first consultation the osteopath will carry out an extensive anamnesis, asking for your medical history and your symptoms. They will then thoroughly examine the body. The osteopath approaches the body as a whole and provides treatment via mobilisation, manipulation and other techniques. The period between two forms of treatment is determined on an individual basis.
