What are the techniques used by osteopathy?
Osteopathy is more than just manual therapy; manual techniques are a cornerstone of the treatments. Some methods are similar to those used by our chiropractor or physiotherapist, but these techniques are used primarily in the treatment of musculoskeletal, visceral, and cranial conditions and injuries.
Osteopathic care contains over 100 different techniques or procedures. The most commonly used structural approaches are broadly grouped into seven major types:
- mobilization
- Soft tissue/massage
- Articulation
- Muscle energy
- Counterstrain
- Myofascial release
- Lymphatic pump
Our team at MedRehab Group Physiotherapy will use whatever treatment approach will benefit your condition and help your overall health and well-being.
What conditions benefit from osteopathic treatments?
More and more research is providing evidence that osteopathic treatment can help a wide range of conditions, including:
- Back and neck pain – decreased intensity of perceived pain
- Knee osteoarthritis – reduced pain and improved function
- Headaches
- Concussion
- HIp and Pelvic pain
Osteopathic treatments have been shown to improve blood oxygenation, blood pressure, and potassium and magnesium values. In addition, the manual osteopathic approach can significantly improve the symptoms of patients with chronic pelvic pain and other related problems , likely by reducing inflammatory cells systemically (aka throughout the body).
The goal of osteopathy is to help the whole person by alleviating pain and restoring the body’s function. Our team is here to help you in any way we can; call today to learn more about our services!
