David Lloyd, Health Awareness September 2010
Last night Perfect Balance Clinic co-hosted the first-ever David Lloyd Hatfield, club Health Awareness evening. The night was a collaboration of all the service providers within the Hatfield (flagship) club, including The Havon Beauty Salon and the personal trainers who are based within the club.
The night was a huge success, with the Havon therapists educating some very willing volunteers on their range of therapies, whilst we at Perfect Balance Clinic undertook the difficult task of answering the question - ‘what is the difference between osteopathy and physiotherapy.’? See what we came up with below...
Is this a question you could answer? If yes, then you would be one of the few people that are able to establish a definitive difference between the two therapies, as they have become in modern-day society.
When Physiotherapy and Osteopathy were first defined within their treatment processes, you could say there was a significant difference between the way the two were perceived and how they were performed. You may have been unfortunate enough to have had a car accident during your lifetime, which would have more than likely resulted in some sessions with a Physiotherapist, due to their strong rehabilitation background.
Nowadays, it has become harder and harder to differentiate the two therapies, that now share just some of the following treatment processes; injury rehabilitation, exercise plans, manipulation, acupuncture, just to name a few!
Here is a list of problems that people tend to associate with the 2 therapies: Physiotherapy; Sports-related injuries, Whiplash/injury rehab, Post Operative rehab Osteopathy; Arthritis, Disc Injuries incl. Sciatica, Shoulder Conditions
