What is the Difference Between an Osteopath and a Physiotherapist?
This comes from an osteopathic perspective, as I am not a trained physio. But from my perspective, osteopathic treatment focuses on restoring the position, mobility and vitality of important structures of the body, and the harmony of the systems of the body to promote auto regulation and homeostasis. Physiotherapy tends to focus on rehabilitation from acute injury/surgery, identifying muscular imbalances that may be contributing to pain/dysfunction and preparing exercise plans for active recovery.
