Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a science-based health profession concerned with assessing and treating musculoskeletal dysfunction. Using observation, movement analysis and specific testing of body structures physiotherapists diagnose and develop an appropriate treatment plan for the management of the condition.
Most people seek physiotherapy for pain relief, rehabilitation following injury or surgery, and preventative strategies. Treatment can help with conditions throughout the body and techniques involve soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, flexibility and strengthening exercises, electrotherapy (to facilitate the healing process), preventative advice, ergonomic and postural education and rehabilitation.

Osteopathy
Osteopathy concentrates on the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, connective tissue) and the way it interrelates with the body as a whole. It combines scientific knowledge of anatomy and physiology and clinical methods of investigation in association with a global appreciation of lifestyle to establish a ‘holistic’ image of an individual.
Traditionally known for the treatment of back pain osteopathy uses a careful and specific application of touch in the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical problems affecting any part of the body.Techniques range from soft tissue manipulation, to joint movements, high velocity thrusts, more indirect stretching and positioning and core rehabilitation. Osteopaths also use cranial and visceral techniques in their comprehensive management approach.
