Similar to physiotherapy, osteopathy is a hands-on manual therapy. Osteopaths are highly trained medical professionals that specialise in musculoskeletal medicine. Their extensive background includes anatomy, physiology, pathology and neurology. Osteopathic treatment focuses on restoring balance in your body. Through a variety of techniques like soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and spinal manipulation, they aim to optimise the function of your skeleton, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues working together. Addressing restricted mobility goes hand-in-hand with prescribed exercises. This approach not only relieves symptoms but also tackles the root cause of the problem, promoting long-term recovery and improved strength and control.
