Manual Osteopathy is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapist available for the treatment of Neuromusculoskeletal and Joints complaints. Although Manual Osteopathy has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with Manual Osteopathy, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following Manual Osteopathy treatment, but some may experience soreness or aching, just as they do after some form of exercise or massage. Current literature shows that minor discomfort or soreness following soft tissue therapy typically fades within 24 hours.
