An osteopath sees the body as one whole system. For Sander, this was a logical concept. This is because the body not only consists of the musculoskeletal system, but also has internal organs and a nervous system. It is the cohesion of these three systems that allows us to function as human beings. The ability to involve all of these systems in both the examination as well as the treatment makes osteopathy a valuable approach to Sander.<\/p><p>Sander took the six-year course in osteopathy at College Sutherland (now <a href=\"https:\/\/collegeintegralegeneeswijzen.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College Integrale Geneeswijzen<\/a>) in Amsterdam. He successfully completed this study in 2010. <\/p><p>In February 2011, Sander Sprong opened the doors of his own practice in Amsterdam. He is a member of the professional associations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osteopathie.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NVO<\/a> (Dutch Association for Osteopathy) and registered with the <a href=\"https:\/\/osteopathie-nro.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NRO<\/a> (Dutch Register for Osteopathy).<\/p><p>In addition to his work with adults, Sander specialized in treating babies and children, after completing the two-year course &#8220;Osteopathy in children&#8221; at Panta Rhei, an institute for advanced professional training in osteopathy.<br>As a father, he has personally experienced what it is like to deal with a baby that suffered from prolonged crying, which adds value to his work with young babies. <\/p><p>An active osteopath in Amsterdam, Sander regularly attends conferences, symposiums and continuing education in the field of osteopathic examination and treatment of adults as well as babies and children. <\/p><p>Along with a now extensive experience treating infants, children and adults alike, his knowledge, skill and expertise has continued to deepen in recent years.<\/p><p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprongosteopaatamsterdam.nl\/en\/contact\/\">contact<\/a> Sander Sprong Osteopathy here to inquire if osteopathy could be of any help for you in your situation.
