Osteopathy

Osteopathy — Vivacare Advanced Physiotherapy

Osteopathy involves palpation and non-invasive manipulation of the musculoskeletal system in the diagnosis and treatment of physical dysfunction, aimed at restoring physical function and promoting the body’s ability to heal itself.

Our physiotherapists well trained in osteopathy & myofascial release. Their assessment & treatment plans are not restricted to the localized pain or symptoms but always take a whole body approach to find out the key lesion and imbalance in the body. We believe that any abnormal functions of any structure or parts can also cause symptoms elsewhere in the body.

How osteopathy works?

  • Treat structural and tissues’ abnormalities.
  • Relieve joint restrictions and misalignments.
  • Restore muscles and tissues’ balance.
  • Promote movement, blood flow and lymphatic flow throughout the body.

Osteopathy can provide relief and treatment for a wide range of conditions. These include

  • Arthritis
  • Foot, Ankle, Hip, and Knee pain
  • Back pain, Neck pain, and Sciatica
  • Hand, Shoulder, and Elbow pain
  • Headaches, Migraine, Vertigo
  • Tennis and Golfer’s elbow
  • Postural problems due to pregnancy, sports injury, driving or work strain, or digestive issues
  • Neuralgia or neurological problems.

The Myofascial Release may involve usage of special balls & rollers to target the trigger points.

What to Expect During Your Session

Your session begins with a whole-body assessment of posture, movement and tissue quality, since osteopathic treatment looks beyond just the painful area. Hands-on techniques may include gentle mobilisation, stretching and myofascial release.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is osteopathy different from regular physiotherapy?

Osteopathic assessment takes a broader, whole-body view of how different areas may be contributing to your symptoms, complementing the more targeted techniques used in standard physiotherapy.

Is it suitable for chronic, long-standing pain?

Yes — many patients with longstanding musculoskeletal pain find the whole-body approach helps uncover contributing factors that a localized approach alone may miss.

Is osteopathy suitable for older adults?

Yes — techniques are adapted to suit bone density, joint condition and overall health, making it accessible for most older adults after an appropriate assessment.

How many sessions before I notice a change?

Many patients notice some improvement within the first few sessions, though the exact pace depends on how long-standing and complex the underlying issue is.

Can osteopathy help with headaches?

Yes — where headaches stem from musculoskeletal tension in the neck, jaw or upper back, osteopathic assessment and treatment can often help reduce their frequency and intensity.
