An Integrated and Interdisciplinary Approach
At AMS Clinics, osteopathy complements a holistic approach. Instead of only treating isolated symptoms, osteopathy at AMS Clinics is a hands-on therapy designed to restore overall body balance. It seeks to identify the root causes of mobility restrictions by carefully evaluating the spine, joints, muscles, and tendons to improve overall health and body function.
Our comprehensive team offers multidisciplinary services, including physiotherapy and other specialties, ensuring that your needs are addressed from multiple angles by dedicated experts.
How Osteopathy Can Help You
Osteopathy is a gentle, unique approach to restoring well-being. This manual therapy aims to rebalance the body by addressing various restrictions. With a finely tuned sense of touch, our osteopaths are trained to accurately detect areas of tension or restriction in your spine, joints, muscles, and tendons.
Did you know? The goal is not only to reduce pain, but more importantly, to promote long-term health and well-being by supporting your body’s self-regulation and self-healing mechanisms. Osteopathy is suitable for all ages—from infants to seniors, including adults and athletes.
