Hi Therapy Now Community,

We have a new treatment available to the clinic that we are really excited to announce that we are offering Osteopathy in Newton Surrey!

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a gentle, holistic, safe and effective form of health care that emphasizes the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Osteopaths focus on correcting misalignments of the joints though manipulating soft tissues through stretching and massage, often referred to as Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy. By addressing imbalances and compensations in the musculoskeletal system, osteopathic practitioners can help promote overall wellness and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, you can consult with a qualified osteopath to determine if this form of therapy may be beneficial for your condition

What is the difference between osteopathy and chiropractic?

Chiropractors are more likely to use chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignments of the joints, while osteopaths tend to focus more on manipulating soft tissues through stretching and massage.
