This is the most common approach to osteopathic treatment and is the foundation on which modern training is based. It is where the osteopath will use different manual techniques to affect the musculoskeletal system: Joint mobilisation Joint manipulation Muscle, ligament and fascial release Stretching of shortened tissues Strengthening of weak structures And many more. The effect of the treatment can reach inside the body and help the nervous system, the blood supply or the functioning of the organs.

Visceral osteopathy is an extension of the general principles of osteopathy that includes a special knowledge of the organs, blood vessels and nerves of the body (the viscera). This approach examines the relationship between the physical structure of the body and the organs, such as the digestive tract or the respiratory system. It aims to alleviate imbalances and restrictions in the interconnections between the movements of all organs and structures of the body. Due to tensions imposed by poor posture, diet or lifestyle, organs can accumulate areas of tension that can lead to "viscero-somatic" pain. An example is severe groin pain caused by an acute kidney infection. In this case, treatment of the painful area may be ineffective, whereas direct manipulation of the kidney may stimulate the healing response needed to relieve the pain. Visceral treatment can help the movement of the digestive tract and the proper functioning of the abdominal organs as well as the lungs, which will directly affect the functioning of our body as a whole. Visceral Osteopathy is commonly used for:* Swallowing difficulties * Digestive problems * Endometriosis * Colic * Respiratory dysfunctions (Asthma) * Incontinence * Back and neck pain * Rib and rib cage pain * Circulation problems And many other conditions.

This is a more subtle approach that involves gently "holding" the patient to interact with more subtle energies and fluid dynamics of the body. The tiny physiological movements of the bones of the head and face are vital to health, and cranial osteopathy can focus on any obstruction to these microscopic movements that may have been caused by trauma or injury.cranial osteopathy works with the body's involuntary mechanisms, helping to restore a calming balance to the natural biorhythms by gently 'holding' the patient. It promotes the release of tension and stress throughout the body. It is common that when we experience physical or emotional stress, the tissues of our body tend to tense up. Although our body is usually able to adapt to the stress at the time, there can be a lasting tension. Any remaining tension can be retained in the body and restrict its free movement. Over time, the body may find it increasingly difficult to cope with the accumulated tensions and eventually symptoms may appear.
