Massage - free restrictions and areas of tightness within muscles, massage addresses the whole body so as to restore its vitality. The osteopath may also use traction, where your head, feet, and hands are slightly lifted and pulled to relieve stress.
Spinal manipulation - used to help restore movement to a joint or threat asymmetry in a facet joint.
Muscle energy technique - with this technique, the patient uses his or her muscles in a specific direction and from a precise position against a counterforce applied by the osteopath.
Counterstrain technique - this technique implies the patient being moved away from a position where movement is restricted to one of greater comfort
Cranial osteopathy - a form of gentle bodywork addressing the bones of the head and spinal column.
These treatments increase and restore joint mobility by reducing pain and stiffness in muscles and joints, as well as improving blood flow and enhancing tissue elasticity. The cause of pain differs from one individual to another and therefore treatment of other body areas such as the neck, the hips, or the knees may be necessary to allievate the back pain.
