Treatment is tailored to suit each individual patient. Osteopaths use their hands to carry out treatment, using a wide variety of techniques including muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmic joint movements or high velocity thrust techniques to improve the movement at a joint. Very gentle releasing techniques are also used especially when treating children or elderly patients. Cranial osteopathy is very gentle: the osteopath uses their trained palpation to identify and correct mechanical disturbances in the skull and throughout the body.
