- 2020 March 7, Alex Phillipos, “Physiotherapy vs Chiropracty vs Osteopathy”, in Atlas Physio[1]:
- Articles describing the difference between physiotherapy, chiropracty and osteopathy divide the three professions into three broad categories: physiotherapists deal with soft tissue injuries through rehabilitation and exercise, chiropractors deal with injuries and disorders through management of spinal and joint alignment, and osteopaths take a “holistic” approach to management and consider the whole patient.
