Osteopath: what to know

An osteopath uses hands-on techniques to assess and treat restricted movement in the body. They work with muscles, joints and soft tissue and can help with certain functional aches and pains, alongside medical care where necessary.

When to book an appointment

• Mild back or neck pain without a serious cause
• Tension after long periods of poor posture
• Joint discomfort after exertion or an awkward movement
• Discomfort during pregnancy or after giving birth

Costs in Switzerland

Osteopathy is generally covered by supplementary insurance, not by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); you can book directly without a prescription.
