Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy which involves treating the body as a whole. Osteopaths focus on how the musculoskeletal, nervous system, vascular system and internal organs all function as a UNIT.

Our bodies are all very unique, and each patient will have different factors such as their work, activity level, stress and their body composition that influence their injury.

Osteopaths are trained to assess the whole body and can determine the impact your injury is having on your overall function. We can treat a wide range of issues, aiming to increase the quality and range of movement in the body, at the same time, decreasing the pain and discomfort experienced.

Osteopathic treatment involves stretching and massage of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) along with mobilisation of specific joints, dry needling and a few more techniques. An exercise rehabilitation program may be prescribed in addition to hands on treatment. We also provide nutritional/supplemental advice and ergonomic advice to aid your recovery process.

In Australia, Osteopaths are government registered (under AHPRA) and have undergone university training for a minimum of 5 years in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques. We are trained to recognise medical conditions that require further referral or investigations.
