RESEARCH
Osteopathie orientiert sich in ihren Techniken eng an der Physiologie und Anatomie des menschlichen Körpers, insbesondere des Nervensystems. Dass unser autonomes Nervensystem zahlreiche physische und psychische Regelkreise sowohl positiv als auch negativ beeinflusst, ist wissenschaftlicher Konsens, die neuro-hormonelle Einflüsse des autonomen Nervensystems ausgiebig erforscht.
Osteopathie wird global erfolgreich praktiziert, das Feld der osteopathischen Forschung steckt hingegen noch in den Kinderschuhen. Dennoch konnten bereits signifikant positive Effekte osteopathischer Techniken auf die unterschiedlichste Bereiche des menschlichen Körpers und der Psyche beobachtet werden. Hier findest du eine kleine Zusammenstellung relevanter Studien:
