Chiropractor
Markus Koch
After working for 6 years in various surgical departments as a surgical assistant, I fortunately discovered the healing power of manual treatments. For many years, I had suffered from severe back pain. It wasn’t until I received intensive chiropractic care that all my symptoms improved. Firsthand, I witnessed with fascination the innate intelligence of the body beginning to heal my ailments from the inside out. All of this was done through extremely gentle and precise corrections—called adjustments—of vertebrae in my spine that enabled my body to heal itself.
My philosophy today is to begin treatment before a problem occurs. Even if there are no symptoms, we should check our bodies regularly to prevent pain and misalignment. I decided to study chiropractic and completed a five-year-long bilingual Master of Chiropractic at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic, where, among other things, I was trained in a gentle and precise adjustment technique called MLS Adjusting.
I am convinced that with my work, I can not only help your body get rid of pain but also provide preventive support by aiding it in stabilising itself from the root upwards.
What does health mean to you? What is a healthy person?
A healthy state is generally one in which we don’t have to think about health at all. The body feels well and can regenerate quickly. It has enough flexibility and resources to adapt to environmental stressors. This gives us the power to really strive for what we want to realise in our lives.
What is the magic of chiropractic in your eyes? Why do you love this system?
Western medicine generally follows a fairly mechanistic view of health, in which symptoms and body systems are viewed in isolation from one another. In reality, however, the whole body is a large, interdependent whole in which everything interacts with each other. Chiropractic unites what seems separate to us. It opens up seemingly closed systems and understands them again in their dependence and interaction with all the other systems in our body. In chiropractic, the body is again reintegrated as a whole.
