Osteopathy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Holistic support for exhaustion – Osteopathy in Munich & Munich Solln
Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex illness characterized by persistent physical and mental exhaustion. Many sufferers feel constantly weak, have low stamina, and are severely limited in their daily lives.
In my osteopathy practice in Munich Solln, I offer individually tailored osteopathy for CFS/ME, which holistically supports the body and takes possible functional relationships into account.
What is ME/CFS?
ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) is a disease characterized by severe exhaustion that is not improved by rest.
Typical features include:
severe physical and mental exhaustion
reduced load-bearing capacity
so-called "post-exertional malaise" (worsening after exertion)
Sleep disorders
Concentration problems (“brain fog”)
Pain and tension
Possible causes and connections
The exact causes of ME/CFS are not yet fully understood. Often, a combination of various factors is involved:
Infections (e.g., viral diseases)
Disorders of the nervous system
Dysregulation of the immune system
Circulatory and regulatory disorders
Stress and overload
Osteopathy in Munich focuses precisely on these functional relationships.
How can osteopathy help with CFS/ME?
The goal of osteopathic treatment is to support the body in its self-regulation.
In my osteopathy practice in Munich Solln, I use very gentle techniques to:
to relieve the nervous system
to promote lymphatic flow
to reduce tension in the body
to improve mobility
to promote blood circulation
to support the body's own regeneration processes
Osteopathy in CFS/ME is understood as an accompanying and supportive therapy.
Holistic approach to chronic fatigue
A central aspect of osteopathy is the holistic view of the body.
Because in ME/CFS, several systems often interact:
nervous system
circulatory system
musculoskeletal system
Stress regulation
My osteopathy practice in Munich Solln takes these connections into account and adapts the treatment individually to your resilience.
Individual treatment and careful approach
Especially in the case of ME/CFS, a cautious and tailored approach is crucial.
In my osteopathy practice in Munich, your treatment includes:
Detailed discussion about your complaints
Assessment of your resilience
Gentle osteopathic examination
Individually tailored treatment
Recommendations for relief in everyday life
Gentle treatment – adapted to your energy
The treatment is deliberately gentle and is adapted to your current situation.
The goal is:
to avoid overtaxing the body
To apply stimuli in a measured way
