Types of Osteopathy treatment offered at BOC?

At BOC, our osteopaths use a range of hands-on techniques, as listed below, to benefit individuals dealing with muscle tension, chronic pain, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, poor posture, headaches, repetitive strain injuries, and seniors looking to enhance their mobility.

Soft tissue manipulation

Soft tissue manipulation is a targeted therapeutic technique aimed at addressing the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to relieve tension, enhance circulation, and promote healing.

Myofascial release

Myofascial release is a specialized technique used by osteopaths to address restrictions and tension within the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints.

Joint adjustments (Cracking)

Joint adjustment, also known as joint manipulation, helps to restore proper function and alignment to the joints throughout the body.

Deep tissue inhibition

This method focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, targeting areas of chronic tightness and discomfort. By gradually inhibiting overactive muscles, this technique helps restore balance to the musculoskeletal system, improve blood circulation, and enhance overall mobility

Muscle energy techniques (MET)

MET is particularly effective for addressing muscle imbalances, increasing range of motion, and alleviating pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions

Joint articulation / mobilization

This technique can help to reduce stiffness, alleviate pain, and promote improved circulation in the surrounding tissues.
