Osteopaths tend to use manual therapy and focus on your whole body to improve pain and mobility, especially for back or neck issues. Physiotherapists incorporate an exercise based approach to get you moving well again, and treat a wider range of conditions from sports injuries to breathing problems. Both can help, but consider if you prefer hands-on treatment (osteopath) or exercise rehab (physiotherapist). Choosing between an osteopath and physiotherapist can be tricky, but at The Injury Coach, we will also take a similar approach to physiotherapists. We will focus on rehabilitation and movement to get you back on track, using a variety of techniques to address your specific injury or condition. So, whether you’re looking for hands-on treatment or exercise-based rehab, we can help with both!
