An osteopath manual therapist begins with a thorough assessment of your posture, movement patterns, and symptoms to identify contributing factors.
Treatment typically includes soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, spinal manipulation where appropriate, and stretching techniques. Your osteopath will also provide tailored exercises and practical advice to support recovery and reduce the risk of your back pain returning.
Using manual therapy, targeted exercises, and posture guidance, they help reduce pain frequency and intensity while supporting long-term prevention.
