“But how can you fix my injury without touching me?” you may ask.
Most injuries can be self-treated as long as you have an accurate diagnosis and a sensible treatment plan, which we can easily do via an online consultation,
How does online treatment work? Don’t you have to touch me?
Osteopathy is incorrectly seen as just being mainly hands on therapy. Whilst Massage , Manipulation and joint mobilisation can be helpful in restoring function, mobility and for short-term pain relief (if it is done correctly), it will not always fix your injury nor prevent it from returning. NICE guidelines suggest exercises along side manual therapy for conditions such as back pain, so this can be done via online consultation. Osteopaths are very skilled at diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions.
Very often, muscles or tendons become injured or painful because they cant cope with the demands put on them by daily activities, sports or hobbies. Very often, the only way to restore strength, function and load tolerance is through an effective exercise and rehab plan. This can be done via an online video call, starting at the right level for you and progressing in line with how your injury is responding.
