About Osteopathy

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment that places emphasis on the structure and function of the entire body. 

The treatment is gentle, largely rhythmic with oscillatory passive techniques to affect the muscles and joints. 

Why should I visit an Osteopath?

Osteopaths offer a unique, whole-person approach to treatment. Osteopaths use hands-on techniques and are trained to diagnose, manage and treat utilising a holistic lens.  

They support the body at every stage of life; relieving pain and discomfort in newborns and pregnant individuals, and helping eldery people stay active. Osteopaths are trained to aid recovery and rehabilitation from injury, and assist the management of long-term chronic pain. 

The Osteopath will consider the patient's current and past medical history, provide a thorough physical examination, and discuss with you a suitable treatment plan. The Osteopth can offer advice, provide exercises, and refer the patient to alternative healthcare resources if required.
