What is the difference between Osteopathy and Physiotherapy?
If you go to a physiotherapist with a knee problem, the physiotherapy will treat the knee and surrounding tissues. They may use various pieces of equipment, soft tissue technique and provide an exercise routine. They are often the first line of approach as treatment is available on the NHS. If you go to an Osteopath with a knee problem, as well as looking at the local area, the osteopath will look at the structural mechanics throughout the body to understand how and why the knee problem has arisen. You may find that the oteopath treats your neck to de-stress the knee, producing a resolution in other longer-term problems.
