The intestine is much more than just a digestive organ: as an immunological, neurological and metabolic control centre, it interacts closely with almost all body systems. Through its microbiome, intestinal barrier and production of bioactive substances such as short-chain fatty acids, neurotransmitters and vitamins, the intestine influences central processes of immune regulation, energy metabolism and neural communication.
A disrupted intestinal barrier – often in the context of leaky gut syndrome – and microbial dysbiosis are increasingly suspected of being involved in the development of systemic and chronic inflammatory diseases. These include autoimmune diseases, neuroinflammatory disorders, metabolic syndrome and musculoskeletal complaints. Nutrition, lifestyle factors, perinatal imprinting and environmental conditions have a significant influence on the integrity of the intestinal barrier and the diversity of the microbiome. Certain food components such as lectins, gluten or highly processed carbohydrates can increase intestinal permeability, while a varied diet rich in fibre and fermentable foods has a protective effect.
In osteopathic medicine, viewing the intestine as a functional centre opens up a relevant therapeutic field. Visceral, neural and fascial techniques in particular can influence the gut-brain axis and vegetative regulatory mechanisms. The integrative osteopathic approach thus offers effective options for treating functional disorders and chronic conditions in the context of systemic imbalances.

Based on the ideas of A.T. Still, the founder of osteopathy, and his own biomechanical model, J.M. Littlejohn developed a method known as General Osteopathic Treatment (GOT). This method was later developed further by J. Wernham, a direct student of Littlejohn, into Body Adjustment and then Total Body Adjustment (TBA). However, in addition to few publications on GOT, there have only been a small number of studies with low evidence to date. Nevertheless, the GOT not only offers current and future osteopaths the opportunity to reflect on the history of their own methods, but also provides them with a diagnostic and therapeutic variation that enables the ideas of the „founding fathers of osteopathy” A.T. Still and J.M. Littlejohn to be implemented in everyday practice.
Part 1 focuses on the historical development, the conceptual definition, and a subject-specific literature review, with particular emphasis on the state of research up to 2015.
基于整骨疗法的创始人A.T. Still的思想和他自己的生物力学模型,J.M. Littlejohn开发了一种被称为普通整骨疗法(GOT)的方法。这种方法后来被Littlejohn的学生J. Wernham进一步发展为Body Adjustment和Total Body Adjustment (TBA)。然而,除了少数关于《权游》的出版物外,迄今为止只有少数证据不足的研究。尽管如此,GOT不仅为现在和未来的整骨医生提供了反思自己方法历史的机会,而且还为他们提供了一种诊断和治疗的变化,使“整骨疗法之父”A.T. Still和J.M. Littlejohn的想法能够在日常实践中得到实施。第一部分侧重于历史发展,概念定义和特定主题的文献综述,特别强调到2015年的研究状况。

Ankyloglossia is a multifactorial functional restriction that requires interdisciplinary management and may affect feeding, breathing, speech, posture, and behavior. The combination of structured diagnostics, differentiated surgical therapy, active wound management, functional training, and osteopathic support offers the highest therapeutic success. Standardized procedures, a unified nomenclature, coordinated training concepts, and a shared interdisciplinary language are essential.

This article informs about the internationally published osteopathic study by Plathner and Wolf in the spring of 2025 [1]. The scientific findings of the study as well as the practical clinical implementation are presented and discussed. In addition to the medical and scientific background on primary dysmenorrhea, this article also explains an osteopathic treatment approach based on embryological development as well as functional relationships.

In dieser Folge geht es nochmals um Endometriose. Bis die Diagnose gestellt ist, vergehen lt. Endometriose Vereinigung im Durchschnitt siebeneinhalb Jahre. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie Osteopathie Patientinnen auf dem Weg zur Diagnose unterstützen kann.
Patientinnen mit Adenomyose leiden u.a. unter Schmerzen im Unterbauch, Schmerzen beim Geschlechtsverkehr oder Unfruchtbarkeit. Die Symptome können also denen einer Endometriose ähnlich sein. Doch Adenomyose ist als eigenständige Krankheit klassifiziert. Veröffentlichungen oder Studien zu osteopathischer Behandlung finden sich kaum. Doch wie auch bei der Endometriose kann Osteopathie als komplementäre Behandlung eingesetzt werden.
