What’s the difference between an Osteopath, a Physiotherapist, and a Chiropractor? 🤔
We get asked this a lot and truthfully, there isn’t always a clear-cut answer. Each profession has its strengths, and it wouldn’t be fair to generalise about approaches we’re not trained in.
So instead, let us tell you about us- what makes Osteopaths unique!
All three professions study anatomy, physiology, and pathology extensively. But what sets Osteopathy apart are the principles that underpin how we work:
The Four Osteopathic Principles:
1. The body is a unit.
2. The body is capable of self-healing.
3. Structure and function are interrelated.
4. These principles guide how we assess and treat the body.
We take a holistic approach, considering your full case history, past injuries or trauma, lifestyle, and other factors that may be influencing your current condition.
Sometimes, we don’t even realise how much certain things can affect the way our body functions, until we dig deeper. That’s where Osteopathy can help.
