How Osteopathy Bern helps with digestive problems
At Osteopathie Bern we follow the following approach to digestive problems:
- Improve local drainage and circulation to support natural bowel movement, e.g., by working on the diaphragm
- Work on the surrounding tissues to relieve tension in the abdominal cavity
- Work on the diaphragm to support the body’s natural pumping mechanism
- Relieving tension in areas such as the pelvis and lower back that have become tense and unangenehm geworden sind (z. B. Becken und Rücken)
