What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, aiming to restore balance and function through manual therapy. At Reach Physiotherapy, our osteopaths in Brighton use a range of techniques to help with your pain.
An osteopath treats the whole musculoskeletal framework using non-invasive methods. Osteopaths assess and treat the body as a whole, with no part of the body treated in isolation. Osteopathy focuses on the function of the joints, muscles, ligaments, circulation and nerve supply.
We use soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, and exercise therapy to help with many types of pain and injury. These methods target the main cause of your discomfort. This evidence-based approach ensures that our treatments are not only effective but also tailored to your specific needs.
What Conditions Can Osteopathy Treatment Help With?
- Back pain eg. lower back pain and sciatica
- Fibromyalgia
- Arthritis and rheumatic pain
- General joint and muscular pain

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an Osteopath do?
Osteopaths diagnose and treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and dysfunctions. Depending on their training osteopaths may treat infants, children or specialise in particular treatment techniques.
Osteopaths are trained to take a full case history to aid in diagnosis and identification of any serious issues which may need referral to other medical practitioners.
Following the case history, a physical examination is undertaken to focus on any findings from the case history and informs further advice and treatment.
What do Osteopaths treat?
Osteopaths treat a wide range of musculoskeletal issues from head to toe. Osteopaths may commonly treat lower back, neck, upper back, shoulder, knee and hip pain but they are equipped with the tools to understand a wide variety of bodily dysfunctions which are too many to individually name. They are trained to identify links between musculoskeletal dysfunction/injuries and posture and other background factors in order to create solutions that last.
What is the Difference Between a Chiropractor and an Osteopath?
Generally speaking there are more similarities between chiropractors and osteopaths than differences but some general key differences are that most (not all) chiropractors may use joint manipulation more than most (not all) osteopaths. The theory that the spine should be aligned to better allow neural signals to pass between brain and body is not as central to osteopathic thinking as it is to chiropractic. Chiropractors undertake training in radiography, osteopaths do not. It’s interesting to consider that the founder of Chiropractic B.J Palmer was a student of the founder of Osteopathy Andrew Taylor Still.
