Hiya friends!
How are we today?
I’m Ollie, its me again x
Sipping my matcha, I’m cozied up in my favorite aesthetic café, and today we’re diving into one of the HOTTEST questions I get:
“Ollie, who should I see—a Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Osteopath, or Massage Therapist?”
Oh, the DRAMA! Don’t worry—I’ve got your back (literally). To make this fun & helpful, I’ve turned it into a mini quiz because, let’s face it, quizzes make everything better.
Ollie’s Answer
I understand you.
You are in deep pain, you are struggling to figure out which practitioner best suits you?
I’d LOVE to help you by giving you the most unbiased, objective response.
Who’s your winner?
1. How quickly do you want results?
- A) “ASAP! I need a solution yesterday, but pain might return in few days.” ➡️ Massage Therapist
- B) “I want fast relief, but I also need a longer-term fix.” ➡️ Chiropractor
- C) “I’m okay with a slower pace if it means full-body healing.” ➡️ Osteopath
- D) “Take your time, just make sure everything’s structurally sound!” ➡️ Physiotherapist
2. Where is your pain coming from?
- A) Injury, back or neck pain, nerve tension, headaches ➡️ Chiropractor
- B) A specific muscle, rehab, or injury that’s holding me back. ➡️ Physiotherapist
- C) Literally everything—my pain is all over and feels interconnected. ➡️ Osteopath
- D) My body just feels stiff and stressed; I need to relax. ➡️ Massage Therapist
3. Philosophy – Do you believe in mind-body connection?
- A) “YES! I believe body does naturally heal itself when the spine & nervous system are aligned.” ➡️ Chiropractor
- B) “Sort of, but I’m all about fixing the physical structures first.” ➡️ Physiotherapist
- C) “Absolutely, and I want a holistic approach to health.” ➡️ Osteopath
- D) “I believe in self-care, and a good massage is the ultimate therapy.” ➡️ Massage Therapist
4. What kind of treatment vibes do you prefer?
- A) Adjustments (activator/ manual), aligning my body for a deeper emotional release. ➡️ Chiropractor
- B) Stretching, strengthening, and rehab exercises. ➡️ Physiotherapist
- C) Gentle, full-body manipulations with a touch of zen. ➡️ Osteopath
- D) Oils, relaxation, and tension release—hello, self-love. ➡️ Massage Therapist
Final Verdict: Who’s Your Practitioner?
- If you want innate, natural healing that connects your spinal and musculoskeletal health to your emotional well-being and creates permanent change, you’re a Chiro Fan!
- If your focus is muscles and structure, with a rehabilitation plan to get you back on your feet, a Physio is your go-to.
- If you want a holistic, full-body approach to pain that considers your entire lifestyle, you’ll love an Osteopath.
- And if you’re craving temporary relief, self-love, or just an hour of relaxation, say hello to your Massage Therapist!
Ollie’s Takeaway
Listen, pain sucks, but the good news is, you’ve got options. Whether you want to be adjusted, a stretch, or a soft, soothing touch, the most important thing is that you take the first step toward healing, wellness and health.
Now go find your guru and treat yourself to the care you deserve. Your body (and your spine) will thank you!
Until next time, keep slaying and stay fab. 💃✨
XOXO,
Ollie
