What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy. It is commonly compared to physiotherapy or chiropractic for its use of manual techniques to treat both chronic and acute aches and pains. As an Osteopath, Nathanael uses spinal adjustments, dry needling, soft tissue mobilisation and massage, as well as exercise rehabilitation. While hands-on techniques like spinal manipulation and massage can provide great short-term benefit, their effectiveness tends to dissipate over the medium to long-term. This is where an Osteopath can combine an effective exercise rehabilitation program with specific and skilfully applied manual therapy. The best scientific evidence supports a combination of manual therapy and exercise for the best medium and long-term results when treating conditions such as chronic back-pain.
