Osteopathy briefly explained
Osteopathy is a holistic method of manual medicine that focuses on the treatment and prevention of dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system and internal organs. The aim is to restore balance in the body and activate the body's self-healing powers through gentle manipulation, stretching and mobilization. Our osteopaths view the patient as a unit and create individual treatment plans to provide long-term solutions to complaints and promote comprehensive health. Osteopathy is suitable for all age groups and can help with a variety of complaints, and is also used preventatively to strengthen health.
Clinical pictures at a glance
We understand that a diagnosis often comes with uncertainty and questions. That's why we've created a special blog that offers you deeper insights into various medical conditions. Our goal is not only to give you information, but also to give you understanding and clarity at a time when you need it most.
Procedure & frequently asked questions
Our goal is to explain the entire procedure and your open questions in the following sections so that you are optimally informed and our team can concentrate on supporting you.
Reception
Our reception is available from 7am to 8pm every day and we always endeavour to process your requests promptly. We understand that there are times when you may not be able to reach us directly. If this is the case, please do not hesitate to send us an email or use our online request function.
We are committed to helping you as quickly as possible and answering any questions you may have. Your concerns are important to us and we will do everything we can to ensure you have a smooth and pleasant experience.
It is not easy to give a general answer as to when we can offer appointments. In some cases we have short-term gaps in the appointment calendar that enable us to offer appointments as quickly as possible.
We recommend that you contact us as early as possible so that we can find a suitable date together. If you have an urgent need, let us know and we will do our best to assist you as soon as possible.
We do not offer appointments on Saturdays as our practice is closed over the weekend. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible service during regular business hours Monday through Friday.
For your comfort and a stress-free journey to our location, we have set up sufficient free parking spaces for our patients both directly in front of and behind our building. We attach great importance to ensuring that every visit to us is as pleasant as possible. That's why we ensure that our parking spaces are barrier-free and offer easy access to the main entrance and the elevators. This allows all patients, regardless of their mobility, to reach us easily and to fully concentrate on their health.
Organizational
We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your appointment so that we can explain the procedures and guidelines to you in peace. Please also bring relevant x-rays and treatment records if you have them, and a large towel for the couch or exercise equipment.
Please arrive on time for your appointment so that you have the opportunity to change appointment times or ask questions. It is best to arrive 10 minutes before the start of treatment.
Osteopathic treatment is borne directly by the patient. Our billing is based on the services provided and not on set times or flat rates. The prices listed below therefore only serve as a guideline, as each treatment is tailor-made and service-specific.
Adult
The length of a session can vary depending on individual health conditions, but is typically between 50 and 60 minutes. The cost of an osteopathic treatment is 89 euros.
Children
Treatments for children usually last between 30 and 60 minutes, with costs ranging between 45 and 95 euros.
We issue a private invoice for all treatments, which is calculated according to the osteopathy fee schedule (GVO). You can pay this invoice by bank transfer or directly at our practice in cash or with an EC card.
A statutory health insurance prescription is usually valid until 28 days after the date of issue, which is why the initial appointment must take place within this period. Furthermore, treatment must not be interrupted for longer than 28 days. Please work with us to ensure that these deadlines are met.
When scheduling appointments, we try to take your wishes into account. If you are unable to attend the agreed appointment, please inform us at least 24 hours in advance. This is the only way we can reassign the appointment. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee.
Before your appointment
We recommend sports clothing such as shorts or a T-shirt/top, as well as sports shoes that are suitable for the training area. It is important that you can move easily in the clothing.
The duration of therapeutic treatments in our practice is directly dependent on the instructions and specifications noted on your medical prescription. Depending on the specific treatment your doctor has prescribed for you, the times for therapy sessions may adjust accordingly.
A typical osteopathic session lasts approximately 50 to 60 minutes. After the initial basic treatment, an adjustment is made to the individual needs of the patient. Usually three sessions, which take place one to three weeks apart, lead to significant stabilization. For more complex problems, it may be necessary to extend the treatment series to 6 to 8 appointments.
We always strictly follow medical guidelines and recommendations to ensure that you receive the optimal treatment for you. During your first visit, we will discuss your treatment plan in detail based on the doctor's prescription to give you a clear overview of the expected duration and frequency of your therapy.
Your health and well-being are our top priority, and we strive to make each therapy session as effective and enjoyable as possible.
In order to make your visit with us as smooth and pleasant as possible, we would like to take a few preparatory steps together with you. This includes checking your prescription for correctness, processing the co-payment, obtaining your data protection consent, completing our questionnaire and clarifying organizational questions. All of this is important to ensure that we can fully concentrate on your treatment.
In order to ensure a relaxed process without time pressure for you and our entire team, we ask you to contact our reception approximately 10-15 minutes before your treatment appointment. This gives us the time we need to make all the necessary preparations in peace and then provide you with the best possible care.
We look forward to supporting you and thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding.
In general, it is important for your body and your health to drink enough water. To ensure the treatment is successful, we recommend that you pay particular attention to this before and after treatment. You should also avoid eating a heavy meal immediately before treatment, if this is possible for you.
We would like to remind you that it is essential to bring your doctor's prescription with you to your first appointment. Unfortunately, without this important document we will not be able to treat you. The prescription not only tells us what treatment was prescribed by your doctor, but also informs us of the intended frequency and number of appointments required. This information is critical to creating an individualized treatment plan for you and ensuring you receive the best possible support.
During your appointment
The anamnesis begins with an open conversation in which patients can describe their current complaints and symptoms in detail. We attach great importance to recording even seemingly unimportant or not directly related details, as these often provide valuable clues to the causes of the complaints.
In addition to recording the current symptoms, we collect a comprehensive medical history that includes previous illnesses, operations, accidents and other relevant health events. Lifestyle habits, stress factors, diet and exercise behavior are also addressed in order to identify possible factors influencing well-being.
This holistic approach allows us to not only treat the symptoms, but more importantly, to address the underlying causes. The information obtained forms the basis for developing an individual treatment plan that is precisely tailored to the needs and goals of each individual patient.
We view the osteopathic anamnesis as a partnership between therapist and patient in which openness and trust play a central role. Our goal is to create an atmosphere in which patients feel understood and safe, thus laying the foundation for successful treatment and a lasting improvement in quality of life.
The osteopathic preliminary examination is an essential step in our treatment process, which follows directly after the anamnesis. It allows us to make a precise diagnosis and develop a tailor-made treatment plan. This examination consists of a series of manual tests and observations through which we evaluate the mobility and condition of the musculoskeletal system, organs and other body systems.
Step 1: Visual assessment
We begin with a visual assessment of the patient to identify postural patterns, possible asymmetries and other visible signs of dysfunction.
Step 2: Palpation
This is followed by palpation, where we assess the condition of the tissues, tension, hardening and the warmth of individual areas of the body through direct contact with the skin. This helps us to identify areas with limited mobility or increased sensitivity.
Step 3: Functional tests
We use specific functional tests to evaluate joint mobility, muscle flexibility and organ function. These also include tests that can check coordination, balance and neurological function.
Step 4: Specific tests
Depending on the complaints identified during the conversation and the findings from the previous steps, we may carry out specific tests. These aim to rule out certain diseases or to analyse specific dysfunctions in more detail.
The results of this comprehensive preliminary examination enable us to understand not only the symptoms but also the causes of our patient's complaints. On this basis, we design an individual treatment plan that aims to restore balance in the body, promote self-healing powers and thus contribute to improving health and well-being.
The osteopathic treatment in our practice is based on the principle that the body is a unit and has the ability to heal itself. Our goal is to restore physical balance, relieve pain and improve general health using individually tailored manual techniques. The treatment takes place in several steps, which are based on the findings from the anamnesis and the preliminary examination.
Step 1: Individual treatment plan
Based on the results of the preliminary examination, we develop a tailor-made treatment plan. This takes into account the patient's specific complaints and needs as well as their medical history and living circumstances.
Step 2: Applying manual techniques
The actual treatment is carried out using various manual techniques. These include:Mobilization: Gentle movements of the joints to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Myofascial techniques: Working with the muscles and fascia to release tension and promote blood circulation.
Craniosacral therapy: Gentle work on the skull and sacrum aimed at calming the central nervous system and supporting the body's own healing processes.
Visceral techniques: Special techniques that target the internal organs to support their function and correct dysfunctions.
Step 3: Promote self-healing
A key goal of osteopathic treatment is to activate the body's self-healing powers. By removing blockages and restoring balance, we help the body to use its natural healing processes more effectively.
Step 4: Advice and support
In addition to manual therapy, we offer our patients advice and support. This includes recommendations on exercises, diet and behavior that can help improve well-being and prevent future problems.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the patient and is continually adjusted to achieve optimal results. We place great importance on building a trusting relationship with our patients and actively involving them in the healing process. Our treatments are gentle and aim to achieve not just short-term relief, but long-term health improvements.
In order to ensure a high quality of treatment in our practice and to closely track the progress of each patient, we attach great importance to comprehensive and accurate documentation. This process is a central part of our practice philosophy and enables us to tailor and adapt the therapy to your individual needs.
In order to integrate documentation into the treatment process as efficiently and seamlessly as possible, we use specialised practice software. This enables us to store all relevant information securely and clearly.
One of the great advantages of this software is its flexibility and accessibility. Each of our therapists has direct access to the software via mobile phones and tablets. This allows the treatment team to view and update important information and treatment details at any time - whether directly at the treatment location, between appointments or in meetings. The ability to access patient data from different devices ensures seamless communication within the team and helps us to optimize your treatment.
After your appointment
You may experience slight discomfort or muscle soreness after your appointment. But don't worry, this is completely normal for a few days after the treatment. Your body is processing the therapy or training stimulus.
Ihr Körper muss sich nach der Behandlung/ Training erholen. Trinken Sie ausreichend Wasser um die Regeneration Ihres Beschwerdebereiches zu unterstützen. Das gleiche gilt für den Schlaf. Versuchen Sie Ihr Bestes, um eine gute Nachtruhe nach Ihre Behandlung zu erhalten.

As soon as I walked in at reception I immediately felt at home. You will be greeted here in a very friendly and courteous manner. Even here you have the feeling that you are in competent hands. This feeling is reinforced when you get to know the therapists and trainers.
Thanks to the entire König team, I have already made enormous progress and I don't want to miss the time I spent there. At this point I would like to thank everyone in the team and hope I can come to you for many more years

I had a sports accident and urgently needed a physiotherapist. The König team incredibly spontaneously found appointment slots for me. I went to different physiotherapists and everyone was really humane and competent. Best recovery promised in this house!
