Osteopaths use their hands to investigate the underlying causes
of pain and to carry out treatment using a variety of gentle manual
techniques to ease pain, reduce swelling and improving mobility.
These may include muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmic
joint movements and manipulation which may result in an audible
‘click’ which is simply the sound of gas bubbles popping
in the fluid of the joints. Gentle releasing techniques are also
used, particularly when treating children or elderly patients. Osteopathy
