Frequently Asked Questions

Osteopathy is a method of manual diagnostics and treatment based on understanding the interconnections of all body structures. An osteopath works with muscles, fascia, organs, skull bones, and spine, helping the body restore its natural balance.

Manual therapy focuses on a specific area of pain, such as joints or the spine. Osteopathy looks for the root cause and works holistically — with fascia, internal organs and the craniosacral system. Both methods complement each other well.

Therapeutic massage works with muscles — relieving tension and improving circulation. Osteopathy looks for the cause of tension and works holistically — with fascia, internal organs and the craniosacral system. The methods complement each other well.

Physiotherapy is a broad field — exercise therapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound, manual techniques. Osteopathy always works exclusively with the hands and always takes a holistic approach — we look for the cause, not just treat the symptom. The methods complement each other well.

A chiropractor uses rapid spinal manipulations with a characteristic cracking sound. An osteopath works with gentle techniques — no sudden movements — and views the body as a whole, not just the spine. Osteopathic techniques are safe for children, pregnant women, and elderly patients.

Yes. The temporomandibular joint is directly connected to the bones of the skull and the craniosacral system. An osteopath works with the root causes of the problem — tension in the skull, neck, and posture — not just the joint itself. I hold specialist training in craniosacral therapy (CST 1 and 2).

There are few, but they exist: acute infections with fever, inflammatory processes, active cancer, fresh fractures and injuries, thrombosis, stroke or heart attack in acute phase, severe osteoporosis, serious cardiovascular conditions, early postoperative period. If you're unsure — write to me, we'll discuss your situation.

Yes, osteopathy complements other methods well: physiotherapy, massage, orthodontic treatment, psychotherapy. It's important to tell me about all your procedures so I can coordinate the bodywork.

It depends on your problem and health condition. Often improvement is felt after the first session. For lasting results, 3-5 sessions with 1-2 week intervals are usually recommended.

Yes, moreover — osteopathy often helps with anxiety. Gentle bodywork releases tension, improves breathing, and helps the nervous system 'reset'. Many notice improvement after the first session.

Yes, osteopathy is suitable for people of any age. For elderly patients, I use especially gentle techniques, considering the body's characteristics. It helps with chronic pain, stiffness, and mobility issues.

A consultation (20 min) is an introduction. We'll discuss your concerns, I'll do an initial assessment, and explain how I can help. It's perfect if you're unsure or want to understand if osteopathy is right for you. A full session (55 min) is complete bodywork: detailed diagnostics and osteopathic treatment.

Comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement. A cotton t-shirt and light pants or leggings work well. Work is done with clothes on, no need to undress.

You can book through Booksy, WhatsApp, or by calling. The 'Book Appointment' button is at the bottom of the page.

The session begins with a conversation and medical history, followed by hands-on diagnostics and gentle osteopathic work. Sessions last 45-60 minutes for adults and 30-45 minutes for children.

The sensations are gentle and pleasant — light pressure, relaxation, sometimes warmth. Work is done delicately, responding to your body. The techniques are so gentle they're suitable even for newborns and pregnant women.

Write or call me — tell me what time works for you. I'll help find options, even if they're not currently shown in the online schedule.

On the day of the session, I recommend resting and drinking more water. In the first 1-3 days, mild fatigue or temporary symptom increase is possible — this is a normal body response to changes. Improvement usually follows.

Temporary worsening in the first 1-3 days is a normal reaction. The body is adapting to changes. If symptoms persist longer or cause concern — write to me, and we'll figure it out together.

Back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, injury consequences, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, sleep disorders, anxiety. Also — birth preparation, postpartum recovery, working with children from birth.

Yes, chronic stress 'records' in the body: tense shoulders, restricted breathing, headaches. Osteopathy helps release physical tension, improving overall well-being and sleep quality.

Yes, but after the acute recovery period. Osteopathy helps the body adapt to changes, works with scars and adhesions, restores mobility. Timing depends on the type of injury or surgery — we'll discuss individually.

Yes, for hernias and protrusions, osteopathy helps relieve muscle tension, improve blood supply, and reduce pain. I work gently, without sudden manipulations. The goal is to create conditions for recovery.

Bite is connected to posture, skull, and neck position. An osteopath helps the body adapt to changes from braces or aligners, relieves jaw tension, and improves orthodontic treatment results.

It can be helpful. An osteopath helps prepare the body for future changes: works with the pelvis, sacrum, improves blood supply to pelvic organs. Especially relevant for conception difficulties.

Back and pelvic pain, heartburn, swelling, headaches, sleep disturbances, uterine tone. I also help the baby assume the correct position before birth. I work gently and safely at any stage.

You can visit as early as 2-4 weeks after natural birth (after cesarean — 6-8 weeks). Early visits help the body recover faster and prevent chronic problems from forming.

Back and pelvic pain, diastasis, organ prolapse, urination issues, pain while breastfeeding, headaches, fatigue. Osteopathy helps the body return to form after pregnancy and childbirth.

Yes, after the scar heals (usually 6-8 weeks). Osteopathy helps work with the scar and adhesions, restores tissue mobility, relieves tension in the abdomen and pelvis.

There is no fixed schedule — it all depends on how you feel and your stage of pregnancy. In the first trimester, one visit for a general assessment is usually sufficient. In the second trimester, as the load on the body increases, I recommend coming every 3–4 weeks. In the third trimester, especially closer to delivery, every 2–3 weeks to prepare the pelvis and relieve tension. You can start at any stage of pregnancy if there are no acute medical contraindications. I tailor the number of sessions individually — some women need just 3–4 visits throughout the entire pregnancy, while others need more.

No. Osteopathy during pregnancy involves very gentle techniques without sudden movements or pressure on the abdomen. I do not use forceful manipulations — I work delicately, listening to the body. My experience as a midwife helps me understand the physiology of pregnancy and sense the safe boundaries of treatment. There are situations when it is better to wait: threatened miscarriage, bleeding, or acute inflammation. In such cases, I will honestly tell you that now is not the time for a session and recommend seeing your attending doctor.

An osteopath does not decide for you how or where to give birth — that is your decision together with your obstetrician-gynaecologist. My job is to prepare the body so it is ready for any scenario. Working with the pelvis, sacrum, and ligaments helps with natural birth but is equally beneficial if a caesarean is planned. My experience working as a midwife in a maternity hospital showed me that giving birth in a medical facility, where specialists and equipment are close at hand, is the safest option. If you are interested in upright birth or other alternatives, please discuss this with your doctor. I will help prepare your body, but the decision always remains yours.

Yes, osteopathy is safe for children of any age, including newborns. Children's techniques are even gentler and adapted to the characteristics of a growing body.

Consequences of difficult births, torticollis, head asymmetry, colic, frequent spitting up, sleep disturbances, restlessness, breastfeeding latch problems. The earlier you visit, the easier it is to help the baby.

Yes, colic is often related to tension in the baby's tummy or nervous system. Gentle osteopathic work helps release this tension. Parents usually notice improved sleep and behavior after the first sessions.

Yes, osteopathy can help children with ASD. Gentle bodywork helps reduce sensory overload, improve sleep, and overall well-being. I work at the child's pace, considering their characteristics.

Posture problems, headaches, concentration issues, injury consequences, frequent colds, bedwetting, developmental delays. Osteopathy helps children grow healthy and develop harmoniously.
