Osteopathy is not covered by basic health insurance (LAMal) in Switzerland. However, most supplemental insurance plans cover a portion of the sessions, provided the practitioner is recognized by ASCA or RME. Check your coverage before making an appointment. No medical prescription is required to consult an osteopath.

Procedure for the first consultation

The first session typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. The osteopath begins with a thorough consultation about your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle, then performs a clinical examination before proceeding with any manipulations. A treatment plan is proposed at the end of the session—often consisting of 2 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
