While performing physiotherapy, physiotherapists focus on mobilizing the site of injury. They focus only on the problem area to alleviate pain or facilitate movement. But osteopaths focus on the whole body, along with treating specific health problems. Unlike physiotherapists, osteopaths use mostly manual hands-on techniques. Also, they reduce chronic pain, improve range of motions, and boost blood circulation by combining a variety of osteopathic manipulative medicine – gentle massage, stretching, and resistance.
