My osteopath is very much like my chiropractor, in that there is definite 
manipulation. Some of the positions & effects are the same. My osteopath tends 
to be more aggressive with some manipulations. I have chronic soft tissue 
tension in my scapular region/neck from working at a computer all day & my 
osteopath is the only one who is able to keep me limber enough there to 
function without "positional" migraines. He is a medical doctor who does 
prescribe medications, but he also does pressure-point therapy, cranial 
manipulation and spinal adjustments.

Speaking of chiros,  someone in my area just opened up an osteopathy
clinc, charging only ¥2,500 for a 50-minute session.   I have read a bit
about osteo in Weil's Spontaneous Healing, but he referred only to
cranial manipulation.  I wonder whether someone expert in this topic can
reply directly r.e. what I should request/expect in a visit to a typical
osteopath.   I have no special problems but would enjoy getting tuned
up.
