Memberships and Trainings
Our practice attaches great importance to sound training and continuous professional development. All osteopathic therapists are alternative practitioners and physical therapists with at least 25 years of professional experience. Through membership in leading professional associations, regular participation in specialized training courses, and the use of modern diagnostic procedures, we combine tradition and innovation in osteopathic work. This ensures that our patients receive care that meets the highest quality standards.
The Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Osteopathie e.V. (BAO): This is the only umbrella organization for osteopathic schools and associations in Germany. In the absence of state-regulated training standards, the BAO has taken on the task of establishing a high-quality minimum standard for osteopathy in Germany. With the BAO seal of quality, the association certifies osteopaths who, after successfully completing their training in accordance with the guidelines, continue to undergo further training in osteopathy and are listed on our website.
Bund Deutscher Heilpraktiker e.V. (BDH): Founded in 1972, it is one of the largest and most influential associations of alternative practitioners in Germany. As a committed professional representative, the BDH advocates for the specific professional, legal, and political interests of alternative practitioners. Membership requires continuous training and quality assurance.
VOD – Verband der Osteopathen Deutschlands e.V. (German Osteopathic Association): This is the oldest and largest osteopathic professional association in Germany (founded in 1994 in Wiesbaden). The association promotes high training standards, professional recognition, and international networking—including with Osteopathy Europe (OE) and the Osteopathic International Alliance (OIA)—and publishes the German Journal of Osteopathy (DO) through Thieme Verlag. Membership requires continuous training and quality assurance work.
CRAFTA® (Craniofacial Therapy Academy): This is an international program for the treatment of temporomandibular joint, head, and facial disorders. CRAFTA® stands for structured continuing education, high quality standards, and interdisciplinary collaboration with dentists, ENT specialists, and orthopedists.
Physioenergetics: The International Academy for Physioenergetics is an internationally recognized
institution for holistic kinesiology. It is based on the arm length reflex method developed by Raphael Van Assche, which is taught specifically to healthcare professionals. The training is characterized by high quality standards and practice-oriented teaching.
Our practice uses the VNS analysis from COMMIT GmbH—an established method for measuring heart rate variability (HRV). The method provides information about the autonomic nervous system and supports an informed assessment of stress levels, regulatory capacity, and state of recovery. It is used both preventively and as an accompaniment to therapy and training. The results serve as a valuable basis for individual recommendations and targeted support in everyday life.
