standard osteopathic manual treatment
Pragmatic individualised osteopathic manual treatment which is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Osteopaths take a detailed case history and perform a thorough clinical examination to help understand the nature of patients' pain and symptoms so that they can arrive at a diagnosis. Practitioners use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to help increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle/joint tension and pain. Osteopaths often combine a range of other treatment techniques in their approach, such as rehabilitative exercises, advice about how patients can self-manage their condition and educational approaches to help them understand their pain. Osteopathy is a regulated profession (regulated by the General Osteopathic Council) in the UK
Osteopathic Manual Treatment
includes touch, joint manipulations, stretching and massage
Self-management
Providing rehabilitative exercises to patients to do at home
Reassurance
Reassuring patients on their symptoms, diagnosis and prognosis.
biopsychosocially informed osteopathic manual treatment
As for the active comparator + biopsychosocial management: after having a completed a 8-10 hour e-learning on the biopsychosocial model for the management of low back pain, osteopaths will use the same approaches as in the active comparator group, plus techniques to help patients making sense of their symptoms, to develop patients' self-efficacy, and psychosocial management skills.
