Pain During Sex: How Physiotherapy Can Help
Sexual health is an essential aspect of overall well-being, yet many people experience discomfort or pain during intercourse, also known as dyspareunia.
Our osteopathy team caters to individuals of all ages, including children and women, addressing a spectrum of musculoskeletal and systemic conditions through visceral and/or cranial techniques to restore the balance between the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems.
Osteopaths are healthcare professionals who specialise in osteopathy — a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system and its connection to overall health.
Osteopaths use manual techniques such as manipulation, massage, and stretching to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of health issues. They aim to restore balance and function to the body, improve mobility, relieve pain, and promote overall well-being.
Osteopaths treat various conditions including back and neck pain, joint pain, sports injuries, headaches, digestive issues, and more. They may also provide lifestyle advice, exercise programs, and ergonomic recommendations to support their patients’ health goals.

Osteopathy can provide complementary support for chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain syndromes, helping to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Osteopathy takes a holistic approach, considering the interconnectedness of the body systems, which can contribute to overall health and well-being.

Osteopath vs Other Modalities
Osteopaths, physiotherapists, and chiropractors share a common emphasis on manual therapy techniques to aid their patients in recovery and improve well-being. The main difference lies in their approaches and methodologies:
Focus on holistic treatment, emphasising the body's ability to heal itself. They use manual techniques such as manipulation and massage to address musculoskeletal issues and promote overall health.
Specialise in rehabilitation and physical therapy, aiming to restore function and mobility through exercises, stretches, and manual therapy techniques. They often work with patients recovering from injuries or surgeries.
Primarily focus on spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the spine, aiming to improve nervous system function and alleviate pain. They may also use additional therapies such as massage and exercise.
While all three professions deal with musculoskeletal issues, they differ in their treatment philosophies and techniques. It’s essential to consult with each practitioner to determine the most suitable approach for individual needs.
