What does treatment feel like?
Osteopathic treatment can use a variety of techniques (please see Osteopathic treatment). The techniques used are gentle and do not have to cause pain of discomfort. Patients often report a soothing sensation of relaxation as tension is eased from the body, post treatment patients often feel taller.
Everyone has a unique response to treatment. Clients report feeling relaxed and/or invigorated after treatment. People report feeling a wide variety of sensations at the needle site or on other parts of the body during treatment. For some, these sensations are faint and fleeting, others experience strong sensations that are very short lived. Some people feel nothing at all at the needle site. Many people have a fear of needles and we make every effort to create ease and comfort around our treatment methods. For some, we may use alternative methods to needling to effect a treatment.
