Ms Ulrike Helfenstein 

«Life is movement, movement is life.»

Every living cell in nature has the task of expressing health.

The body does not function as separate units but as a harmonious whole.

The founder of osteopathy understood that when the body receives the right impulses, it can activate its self-regulation mechanisms and heal itself.

If I had to choose again today, I would still choose osteopathy. My profession and working with people continue to inspire and fulfill me every day.

My goal is to accompany you on your path to healing with hands that see, feel, and communicate. But osteopathy is not just about manual work on the body. Together, we will explore how you can shape your life (nutrition, movement habits, thought patterns, etc.) to live a joyful and active life.

I look forward to welcoming you to my practice.
