Osteopathic practitioners use a range of manual therapy techniques including structural osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, and visceral manipulations.
During an initial visit, the osteopathic practitioner will take a detailed medical history, perform a physical examination, and assess the patient's posture and movement patterns.
Based on this information, they will develop an individualized treatment plan that may involve a combination of techniques to address the root cause of the problem.
