Edema (swellings) can be successfully reduced using special, gentle massage grips from manual lymphatic drainage. If the lymphatic blocking is pronounced, this therapy is combined with compression bandages.
Podotherapy is a holistic therapy that combines physiotherapy with osteopathy and podiatry.
Osteopathy has its roots in the USA and is a holistic diagnosis and treatment approach. The therapist works exclusively with use of the hands.
The structural system (bones, ligaments, joints, fascia),
visceral system (internal organs) and the cranio-sacral system are examined and treated. The body is seen as a unit with close interactions between structure and function. The self-regulatory ability of the body is trusted - the therapist gives certain impulses a patient's body needs to help regain balance and health.
"When every part of the "machine" is correctly adjusted and in perfect harmony, health will hold dominion over the human organism by laws as natural and immutable as the laws of gravity".
