Osteopath in Amsterdam

Roberta Mosconi, D.O. — osteopath since 2009.
My priority is your long-term wellness. I care about looking past the symptoms to connect with the person, helping you restore your balance and improve your quality of life.

What is Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare that treats the body as a whole. Rather than addressing symptoms with medication, an osteopath looks for what’s causing them and works to resolve the problem at the source.

Osteopath feeling the patient

Find the cause

Most treatments focus on relieving symptoms. Osteopathy treats symptoms as signals, clues that point to an underlying imbalance. Through careful assessment, the osteopath identifies the root cause, which is often far from where you feel the pain.

Osteopath manipulating the patient

Manual treatment

Osteopathic treatment is entirely hands-on. Using gentle manipulations of muscles, joints, and connective tissue, the osteopath releases tension, improves circulation, and restores mobility without medication or surgery.

Happy patient with restored balance

Restore the balance

In osteopathy, it's not the osteopath who heals. Your body does! The osteopath's role is to identify and remove the blockages that prevent your body from functioning as it should. Once those are cleared, your body does what it's designed to do: find its own new balance.

Osteopath surrounded by treatable conditions

What can osteopathy help with?

Many people visit an osteopath for back or neck pain, but osteopathy treats the body as a whole. Here are some of the most common reasons patients come to my practice:

  • Pain and mobility — back pain, neck stiffness, sciatica, joint pain, frozen shoulder, sport injuries, and postural problems
  • Head and nerve — headaches, migraines, dizziness, tingling, herniated disc, and whiplash
  • Digestion — stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating, and constipation
  • Breathing and sleep — asthma, sinusitis, sleeping problems, fatigue, and burnout
  • Pelvic health — weak pelvic floor, incontinence, menstrual pain, and recurrent infections
  • Pregnancy and postpartum — lower back and pelvic pain, nausea, swelling, and recovery after birth

Not sure if osteopathy is right for your situation? Feel free to get in touch! I’m happy to advise you, even if that means referring you to another specialist.

Patient thinking what to expect from the treatment

What to expect from an osteopathic treatment

Not sure what happens during a session? Here’s how a typical first visit works:

  1. Case history — I ask about your symptoms, medical history, and daily habits to understand the full picture.
  2. Physical examination — Through observation and specific tests, I assess your posture, mobility, and tissue quality to find the root cause.
  3. Hands-on treatment — Using techniques tailored to your body’s needs, I work to release tension, restore mobility, and support your natural healing.
  4. What’s next — I explain what I found, what I did, and whether follow-up sessions would help.

I explain every technique before and during treatment so you always know what’s happening. The treatment is gentle and should not be painful.

What My Patients Say

Newborn

"I didn't know that osteopathy was a type of treatment for babies. My 4 month old daughter had a lot of reflux and she had a 'wrong' posture. A friend advised me to go to the osteopath and I was amazed to see that only after one appointment all her symptoms disappeared! On top of that, Roberta had a super friendly and welcoming atmosphere. She was explaining everything about what she was doing and she was very natural with my baby. I 10000% recommend her!!!"

"I came to Roberta in Amsterdam because of a foot injury and back pain that didn't make me live and face my profession the way I wanted to. I am a dancer and the professional competence of Roberta have definetely helped me to improve my artistic performance. She is a great specialist in her field but I also feel she has a real connection to the patient needs cause she's able to listen to what the patient requires and to recommend the healing path that best suits their needs. My body responded good to her treatment and the result lasted a long time :)) ! As a dancer I would like there to be a stronger connection between dance and osteopathy because I think the two can really get along! A plus for me was that Roberta also has a knowledge of the dance world so she completely understood my hyper-mobility problems and she approached me in a different way. I really think that the osteopathic treatment on dancers can help the dancer to improve their artistic potential and embark on a real journey to discover themselves. Thank you Roberta :)"

Knee pain

"I first visited Roberta a few months back when I was experiencing pain in one knee, having never visited an osteopath before. After Roberta, examined me and figured out what was happening, she did a therapy session. That very first day, I felt so different the moment I stood on my feet again: I felt more aligned, more in balance (my pelvis was not in balance, and that was causing the knee issue) and definitely more aware of how I was walking and moving. The following days pain was less frequent and less intense. After just 2 more sessions, my pain was completely gone. In just 3 sessions! No more appointments needed after that. Recently, I had an accident on ice, so of course I booked an appointment straight away. Not only am I happy about how beneficial osteopathy feels to me, but also I'm very excited with Roberta Mosconi. She has an eye for detail, and she's got a gentle and very nice approach. To me she seems to know exactly what she's doing and exactly what needs to be done, and that makes me feel safe and very happy about my choice."

"Roberta is a top-notch professional. She helped us tremendously with our newborn son, who, due to a contracture/tension in his neck, was causing me pain and breastfeeding problems. Thanks to just a few sessions with Roberta, my little one regained neck mobility and our problems were resolved. Highly recommended! :)"

"It was a positive discovery! I was looking for a physical therapist to assess my physical condition before starting a training program, as I had been suffering from neck and hip pain for a long time, and I had also developed shoulder tension. We began a joint program with Roberta, including osteopathic treatments, and thanks to her expertise and professionalism (also through practical advice and support), my condition seems to have improved significantly."
