Krzysztof Bystrzejewski – Katowice

Effective therapy for the treatment of pain, movement disorders and chronic ailments. Individualized approach, safety and working with the cause of the problem.

I provide comprehensive therapy, helping to safely and consciously get rid of pain and restore your body to full function. With a personalized approach, we eliminate not only pain, but also mobility restrictions or digestive disorders that affect your daily well-being. Osteopathic therapy allows us to effectively get to the root of the problem, rather than just relieving symptoms in adults, adolescents and children.

My name is
Krzysztof Bystrzejewski

Osteopath / Physiotherapist

I am an osteopath and physiotherapist with many years of clinical experience, a graduate of the Silesian Medical University in Katowice at the Faculty of Health Sciences (major: Physiotherapy) and the Flanders International College of Osteopathy – a renowned international five-year school of osteopathy. On a daily basis, I combine academic knowledge with a modern osteopathic approach, treating the body as a whole – a system of interrelated structures. I work with full commitment, empathy and passion, always focusing on the cause of the problem, not just its symptoms. My goal is to treat at the highest possible level, which is why I regularly participate in specialized training courses in osteopathy and physiotherapy, conducted by world-class lecturers. In parallel, I constantly deepen my knowledge by analyzing the current medical literature and keeping up to date with the latest effective therapeutic methods.

Training and qualification

Having completed dozens of specialized courses allows me to use proven, safe and effective methods of therapy. This ensures that each session is tailored to the patient’s needs and health.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY

Definition of osteopathy according to the British Standard (used by the General Osteopathic Council, among others):

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosing, treating and preventing health problems, which is based on manual contact, detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and the assumption that the structure and function of the body are closely related, and that the body has the ability to self-regulate and self-heal.

In British practice, this definition emphasizes that an osteopath:

  • Assesses the patient holistically (holistic),
  • Uses manual techniques (e.g., mobilizations, manipulations, soft tissue work),
  • treats the body as an integrated whole, rather than a collection of separate systems,
  • supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms instead of replacing them.

PEDIATRIC OSTEOPATHY

Assessment of child development

  • analysis of pregnancy, childbirth and neonatal period
  • observation of motor development, posture and muscle tone
  • Assessment of body symmetry, skull, spine and pelvis

Age-appropriate manual work

  • Very gentle techniques (no “setting” as in adults)
  • Soft tissue, fascial, functional, cranial techniques
  • working with the autonomic nervous system

WHAT A VISIT LOOKS LIKE

A visit to an osteopath is calm, individual and holistic in nature. It usually lasts 40 minutes.
1. MEDICAL HISTORY

Among other things, the osteopath asks:

  • current ailments and their history,
  • past injuries, surgeries, illnesses,
  • Lifestyle, work, sleep, stress,
  • Previous examinations (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound – if available).

The goal is to understand the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.

2. OSTEOPATHIC EXAMINATION*

Includes:

  • Observation of posture and movement,
  • functional tests,
  • Palpation of tissues (muscles, fascia, joints),
  • Assessment of tension and mobility throughout the body.

*The test is safe and painless.

3. THERAPY PLAN AND PATIENT CONSENT

Osteopath:

  • explains what he found in the study,
  • suggests a course of therapy,
  • informs about possible reactions after the visit,
  • always acts with the patient’s consent.
