Andrew Adam

I found my way to naturopathy through a tragic paragliding accident in May 2003 that fractured three thoracic vertebrae and my sternum.

The therapy in Kufstein Hospital consisted of very strong painkillers, which, however, had no effect.

The only thing these remedies did was change the perception of the pain, but not the intensity. After I was discharged from the hospital, I could hardly cope with my everyday life. After just 10 minutes of walking or standing, I had to lie down for 1 hour to be able to bear the pain and tension in my back to some extent. Since conventional medicine only offered me therapies based on strong painkillers, I began to look around for alternative treatment methods. I finally found what I was looking for during a course in meridian techniques with an osteopath in Switzerland. There I was treated with craniosacral osteopathy for the first time, with the result that my pain dropped to a level that I could bear for almost a week.

Naturopath since 2008

Further treatments followed and I was enthusiastic about this method. Despite a long series of very good treatments, I was no longer able to put full weight on my back as a result of the accident and based on the positive experiences I had personally experienced, in 2005 I began a three-year retraining course to become a non-medical practitioner at the state full-time supplementary school of the Weser vocational training center Ems.

In May 2008, I continued my education with studies at the Chiropractic School in Berlin, where I acquired the original techniques of American chiropractic and deepened my knowledge of osteopathy.
