Major manipulation techniques used by osteopathic physicians

Pressure application

The soft tissues in the body can be manipulated by applying a certain amount of pressure. By massaging and stretching these tissues, osteopathic physicians can improve blood flow and speed up their healing process. The process is not painful at all, and can bring immediate relief to the patient if done correctly.

Release of muscle energy

Constantly making muscles to move in a certain direction and countering them with opposing external pressures can unlock the latent energy within them. This reduces the stress in your muscles and has an overall positive effect on your body.

Myofascial release

This technique involves the use of gentle force to dissipate stress in the connective tissues that are found around muscles, organs, and bones. Fascia is the medical term used for these tissues.

Cranial manipulation

Osteopathic physicians use this technique to apply pressure to various parts of the skull in order to enhance healing and make the patient feel relaxed.
