Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment that helps reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore natural movement. By assessing how your muscles, joints, and spine work together, osteopathic treatment aims to address the underlying cause of musculoskeletal problems and support long-term recovery.
Both osteopathy and physiotherapy help manage musculoskeletal conditions, but they use slightly different treatment approaches.
| Osteopathy | Physiotherapy |
|---|---|
| Hands-on manual treatment | Exercise-based rehabilitation with manual therapy |
| Mobility and movement | Function, strength and recovery |
| Joint, muscle and spinal problems | Musculoskeletal, neurological and sports injuries |
