Osteopathy and physiotherapy are both holistic approaches to healing, each with unique techniques and philosophies. 🤔 Osteopathy focuses whole person and on the body's structure and its ability to heal itself, using hands-on treatments along side rehabiliation exercises and home care advice to improve overall health.

In contrast, physiotherapy emphasizes injury recovery and rehabilitation through exercise, and education and at times manual thearpy. 💪

Choosing the right professional depends on your specific needs—whether you're seeking pain relief, recovery from an injury, or overall wellness. 🩺 Understanding these key differences can help you find the best path to better health! Choose wisely! 🌿

The iliopsoas muscle, commonly known as the psoas, is crucial for hip flexion and core stability. 🌟 It connects the lower spine to the femur, playing a key role in maintaining posture and facilitating movements like walking and running.

A strong psoas helps prevent lower back pain, especially for those in sedentary jobs where it can become tight and weak.

To keep it healthy, try the lunge stretch: step forward with one leg, lowering your hips while keeping your back straight. Hold for 20-30 seconds on each side. 🤸‍♂️ Stretching regularly can enhance flexibility and relieve tension!
