Beatrice Iten, Owner and Founder of Spinal Wellness Clinic

Beatrice Iten Qualifications

Board Certified Holistic Medicine Practitioner 

Musculoskeletal Therapist in Structural Osteopathy and Soft Chiropractic 

I started my holistic medicine and wellness training almost a decade ago in the UK and have been in private practice since 2013. Before I established the Spinal Wellness Clinic in Zug in 2020, I worked for 7 years as a therapist and co-founder of Thame Chiropractic Clinic in Oxfordshire, UK.

My main approach is the John Gibbons BSc (OST) Bodymaster Method

An Osteopathic and Chiropractic treatment concept that targets and treats functional disorders in the spine and joints. A structural Osteopathy and soft Chiropractic treatment presupposes an exact diagnosis. In this way, I will be able to apply treatment to the blocked areas, and return the vertebrae to their proper positions. 

It is within my passion as Therapist of Musculoskeletal Therapy, to be dedicated to helping as many people as possible achieve better health, awareness, and a clearer path to discovering a thriving full life. I approach the body as a complex integrated unit, where one dysfunction may require more than one area of expertise.
