People are often surprised by how comfortable osteopathy is at About Backs & Bones. We use techniques which vary from being extremely gentle to a little firmer, depending on the cause of the pain. For example, if muscles are tight, and need deep massage then this is sometimes slightly uncomfortable but we work within your pain threshold and vary treatment accordingly. We also treat people in extreme pain and babies and children who will not tolerate some techniques, so gentle methods of treatment are used.
