What is Physiotherapy & Osteopathy and how does it work?

http://www.streamingwell.com/physiotherapy-and-osteopathy-video.html - Learn how physiotherapy and osteopathy works and find out want physiotherapists and osteopaths do when treating patients.

This video explains how physiotherapists approach healthcare and work towards restoring body movement and mobility. The work of osteopaths who frequently treat neck pain, back pain and whiplash injuries is also highlighted.

The film is presented by physiotherapist Tim Allardice, who highlights that both types of practitioner treat musculoskeletal pain, or pain which affects the muscles and bones. This musculoskeletal pain can affect many parts of the body including tendons and ligaments in areas such as the lower back, neck, elbow, wrist and knees. Finally, Tim explores who may be suitable for physiotherapy or osteopathy and where such treatments may be inappropriate.

@EuroPhantom22 The question was what degree was more difficult: occupational therapist (not osteopath) and physiotherapist- chill

[EuroPhantom22]

@Smags31 Thats great for you that u respect Physios but AGAIN they are not on the same level, dont go around saying physio is more science based when D.O.'s do Surgery, Medicine and Manupulative TX

[Smags31]

@EuroPhantom22 Not sure what physiotherapy clinics you go to but PT do a lot more than just modalities. Its a ton of manual work and if needed manipulations of the joints are also done. Assessments are very Limited? What sense? I think you are the one that needs to get your facts straight. I don't get why you got so angry- OT and PT are different but they compliment each other. I do respect all osteopaths and have nothing against the profession, but I have a deep respect for the PT profession.

@Smags31 HAHA, U must be joking right, Osteopathy learns the deepest anatomy and physiology there is, they deal with all the functional disorders, Techniques include Visceral manipulation, muscle energy, adjustments, advanced fascial NMJ techniques and maps, and D.O. learns Medicine and Surgery, get your facts straigh, all PT do is Electrical Therapy and UltraSound, barely any real soft tissue work and their assesments are very limited

@cl3angetaway physiotherapy- its more science based and you need to know more Anatomy, physiology as well as Biomechanics

[Smags31]

sooo he didn't really differentiate between physiotherapy and osteopath..

[cl3angetaway]

which degree is more difficult, science-wise: physiotherapist or occupational therapist?

Odd, that guy speaking the majority of the time seems like he's reading a prompter or had memorized a script.
