Physiocare's Experience in Action
Understanding Physiotherapy for Manual Osteopathy in Ottawa
Manual osteopathy integrates gentle manipulation of soft tissues and joints to restore movement and balance. Clinical trials demonstrate that manual ASTYM and osteopathic techniques reduce pain, improve spinal mobility, and enhance function in low‑back pain patients more effectively than exercise alone. These methods support neuromuscular retraining by targeting fascia, ligaments, and joint mechanics to support natural healing.
How Manual Osteopathy in Physiotherapy Works
In physiotherapy, manual osteopathy involves precise soft tissue release, joint mobilization, and structural alignment techniques. Research shows that combining manual osteopathy with stabilization exercises provides better pain relief and functional improvements for chronic neck and back conditions. Therapists assess movement patterns, release tension, mobilize joints, and retrain posture to promote sustained recovery and movement efficiency.
