Osteopaths work with their hands, but there is no standardised treatment for any condition. Just as different doctors may prescribe different tablets for the same condition, so different Registered Osteopaths may employ different techniques according to their experience and expertise and to the individual needs of the patient.
Osteopaths may use a wide variety of treatment methods from soft-tissue 'massage' types of technique and passive repetitive stretching movements, to improve joint mobility, to the high velocity thrust technique, which can cause a joint to click. Gentle release techniques are widely used, particularly when treating the very young or the elderly. The treatment program may include advice on posture, diet, lifestyle, or stress, as all of these may have contributed problem. Instead of treating symptoms, the osteopath is attempting to remove mechanical and other problems, which can hinder the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Osteopathic treatment is seldom painful and Registered Osteopaths will use the most gentle techniques for the case. Patients generally find treatment to be pleasant and relaxing.
