What Techniques Do Osteopaths Use?
Our Osteopaths draw from a wide range of available techniques including:
- Soft tissue massage - applied at varying depths according to patient comfort to reduce muscle and facial tension, increase blood flow and reduce pain
- Gentle joint mobilisation - repetitive joint movements to improve range of motion and improve joint health
- Joint manipulation (HVLA) - High Velocity Low Amplitude technique to improve joint range of motion
- Stretching, including specific joint stretching (MET) - Muscle Energy Technique to improve range of motion and lengthen muscles
- Cranio-sacral technique - to restore natural rhythms to the body and range of motion to cranial bones
- Dry needling - insertion of fine, single-use needles into specific points to reduce pain, calm the nervous system, improve blood flow and healing response and reduce pain
- Visceral (organ) manipulation - improve mobility of organs and their supportive tissues (ligaments and fascia) to restore organ health and reduce compensation in the musculoskeletal system
The techniques your osteopath will recommend for your management are selected specifically for you and your condition according to your symptoms, our assessment results and your preferences.
