What to expect from an Osteopathic Treatment
The treatment itself can vary practitioner to practitioner, but all will involve a hands on approach. For more information about Osteopthy see our page on Osteopathy. Osteopaths have a wide variety of manual techniques they use to treat various complaints. They include;
- Massage
- Stretching
- Articulation (joints are passively taken through their range of motion by the practitioner)
- Muscle Energy Techniques (used to lengthen tight, contracted muscles)
- Counterstrain (releases tight muscles by positioning the affected muscle in a shortened position to stretch the opposing muscles)
- Manipulations (short, quick movements used to unlock joints and get them moving better)
- Functional Techniques (gentle mobilisation of joints by easing patterns of stress)
- Visceral Techniques (used to influence the function of organs)
- Cranio (Cranio sacral) Osteopathy
- Biodynamics (Biodynamic Osteopathy)
At the end of the treatment, your Osteopath will reassess the initial movements that you performed so that we can see how effective the treatment has been. Your Osteopath will organise a return consultation and may give you some stretches and exercises to do at home to help speed up your recovery or improve your body's function. We may be able to give you advice about suitable physical activity during this recovery period.
