The founder of the clinic was a practitioner and scientist Mokhov - an osteopath with twenty years of experience working with patients. Practice, theory and thousands of cured patients convince the necessity of this area of alternative medicine for many patients.
Mokhov Clinic Concept
The Mokhov Institute of Osteopathy was founded in St. Petersburg in 2011. The first clinic is located on Degtyarnaya Street, in the very center of the northern capital. Over the next five years, two more centers were opened in St. Petersburg and one in Moscow.
The concept of the institution is based on an integrated approach to treating patients; programs are designed for all age categories of citizens. The Mokhov Institute of Osteopathy, includes all the problem areas of a specific person in a set of measures to restore body functions. For example, if a patient has any restrictions on the mobility of joints or tissues, then specialized clinic specialists can prescribe therapeutic exercises, medical treatment and special types of massage.

What is osteopathy?
The basis of osteopathy is the postulate that all organs and systems of the body function as a whole. A violation in any organ leads to a chain of changes in the functionality of the whole organism. Osteopathy, today, refers to alternative methods of treatment. The restoration of the work, the anatomical position of the organ, parts of the musculoskeletal tissue occurs by the method of soft manual exposure of an osteopath.
The method and term appeared in the 19th century, the United States was the birthplace, and the first clinic by the author of the method, Andrew Steel, was founded there. The concept was based on the development: “Structure controls the function, function determines the structure”, that is, the body is a single whole and a comprehensive approach to treatment is needed. ” In Russia, at an official level, the method was recognized in 2003.
Differences between osteopathy and manual therapy
At first glance, osteopathy is a kind of manual therapy, but the differences lie in the plane of treatment of diseases. In manual therapy, problems with the spinal column are considered the main source of disease. Restoring the natural position of the vertebrae solves many problems, but not all. In osteopathy, the approach is expanded to consider and eliminate the problems encountered in the work, the location of all internal organs, bone apparatus, ligamentous tissue, metabolic processes, etc.
How is the reception
The body is a single system and must receive recovery in every focus of existing or embryonic diseases. This is how a specialist considers problems and osteopathy is dedicated to this. What is it that a doctor treats with an integrated approach to solving a patient’s medical problems?
An experienced osteopathic doctor can already determine the patient’s problems at the first consultation, simply by observing the posture, limb functionality, patient’s head position, listening to complaints and viewing the results of the tests (ultrasound, MRI, etc.), an almost complete picture is formed. In the future, manual diagnosis takes place, which reveals to the specialist the whole range of patient problems.
What osteopathy treats
An osteopath is consulted for the following reasons:
- Chronic ENT diseases.
- Diseases of the musculoskeletal and musculoskeletal systems, ligamentous tissue.
- Neurological
- Respiratory system diseases.
- Chronic and pathological diseases of internal organs.
- Reproductive system diseases in women.
- Functional disorders and diseases of the reproductive system in men.
- Postoperative conditions.

An experienced specialist does not just fix the problem, he “tunes” each organ to normal, natural functioning, which has a comprehensive positive effect on the whole organism.

Patients who applied to the Mokhov Institute received full treatment for themselves or their children. Reviews with positive ratings talk about the long-awaited healings in cases where traditional medicine or classic massage were powerless. Some patients got rid of long-term headaches and dizziness, problems with the spine and the work of internal organs.
Parents whose children suffered from cerebral palsy, developmental delays, enuresis, and digestive problems were helped by the Mokhov Institute of Osteopathy. The Osteopathy Center is proud of its medical staff composed of high-level professionals. The best confirmation of this is the patient reviews, most of which contain words of deep gratitude.
Negative reviews
Negative reviews were expressed about the disorganization of the reception. To get to the session, a preliminary appointment is required, but as it turned out, this does not guarantee getting to the doctor’s office at the designated time. Often you have to wait a pretty long time. For an adult, it’s not so sad, but if the appointment is assigned to a baby, then there are many problems.
