Additional Information:
Osteopaths use a variety of hands on treatment techniques to help restore movement, reduce pain and improve the way a body is able to function. These techniques may include soft tissue work, stretching, muscle energy (activation) technique, strain-counterstrain and joint manipulation.
Although our body is made up of many different parts, the function of any one of these components relies on the function of all of the others. This means that your injury/condition and its impact on you will be considered in the context of the impact it may be having on your whole body.
In the case of body pain, the osteopaths aim is to assist your body to recover from, or cope with, the injury or condition which is causing pain. We do this by using manual treatment which aims to remove any restrictions or obstacles to the healing process. This allows your body to work as well as it can and promotes recovery from injury.
This means that a change in the structure of a joint or body part (through injury or pathology like arthritis) will cause a change in the way that the body part will function, and vice versa - that is, if the function of a joint is altered via poor posture for example, it may lead to a change in the structure through wear and tear.
Where possible, an osteopath seeks to remove any restriction or impairment in the body structures (muscles, joints or connective tissues) to allow optimal function to occur. In the case of permanent changes to the body's structure through injury or pathology, osteopathy aims to promote the very best function that is available.

Additional Information:
Physiotherapy is a clinical health science and profession aimed at treating a variety of conditions that contribute to the reduction of physical capabilities and mobility.
Physiotherapists draw on their extensive training in, and knowledge of, the mechanics and anatomy of the human body, to identify the causes of underlying problems and develop strategies to restore normal functioning.
A physiotherapy assessment may involve a postural analysis, gait analysis and various musculoskeletal, neurological and/or vascular diagnostic tests.
Some of the techniques commonly used by physiotherapists to treat patients include:
- Soft tissue massage;
- Trigger point therapy;
- Mobilisation;
- Stretching;
- Hydrotherapy;
- Breathing and relaxation techniques and
- Exercise prescription - home exercise programs
Physiotherapists assist in treating pain and dysfunction associated with occupational overuse, sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, poor posture and pre/post orthopaedic surgery. They manage a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, headache arthritis, neck pain and low back pain.
