How do Osteopaths Treat?
Osteopaths employ a wide range of
treatment methods according to the individual's age,
physique and particular problem. Methods range from
soft-tissue 'massage' of
muscles and ligaments, passive stretching and traction
to joints and manipulative techniques (which patients
often feel as a click) to improve joint mobility.
Osteopaths are trained to recognise the need for
medical investigation and will refer as appropriate.
