Osteopathy and Acupuncture in Sachsenhausen

"It inspires me to perceive the individuality of people. During my own long-lived medical activity, I gained valuable experience in many areas of orthodox medicine and naturopathy.  I found my calling with the holistic doctrine in regard to osteopathy and acupuncture, as both organic and emotional aspects are included in the treatment."

Osteopathy

As a holistic medical osteopath, I focus my attention not only on acute complaints, but also on previous illnesses and the patient's personal circumstances. I use special osteopathic techniques to examine possible movements, areas of pain and tissue changes in the body. I use my hands to detect organ dysfunctions and often treat functional chains of interrelated organs (e.g. muscles, joints, fasciae and internal organs). In therapy I use gentle and structural techniques. I like to complement the treatment with stretching and strengthening exercises. 
After several years of international medical osteopathic training, I received the diploma of the German American Academy of Osteopathy (DAAO) in 2005. I also received the osteopathic diploma of the European Register for Osteopathic Physicians (EROP) in 2012 and the sports osteopathy certificate of the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine (AOASM) in 2015.

•    Fascia complaints

•    Sleep disorders
•    Functional disorders of the internal organs
•    Energetically caused functional complaints 

Acupuncture

As an experienced acupuncturist, I treat patients' physical and psychosomatic complaints in a comprehensive way. During treatment, I place thin needles in precisely defined acupuncture points. The points can also be stimulated with a soft laser. The acupuncture points are located on the meridians, which are connected to muscles, fasciae and internal organs. Most patients experience acupuncture as beneficial, relaxing and effective. Acupuncture is reimbursed by health insurers for certain diseases.

I completed the full training at the German Medical Association for Acupuncture and received the "Acupuncture B Diploma" in 1998. The State Medical Association of Hesse awarded me the additional medical title "Acupuncture"

• Pollen allergy

• Exhaustion
