- What do osteopaths do?
Osteopathic treatment is based on an understanding of the human body, its structure and function. An osteopath will use touch to investigate the underlying cause of your injury or issue. The treatments usually involve hands-on techniques for the muscles and joints, including:
- spinal manipulation
- soft tissue massage
- joint mobilisation
- stretching
- muscle resistance training.
