Osteopathy – what is it?
Osteopathy focuses on the whole body and promote healing by combining a range of therapies to help restore movement, reduce pain and to support the body’s natural ability to function optimally.
Osteopaths provide individual treatment and management plans to help you manage everyday aches and pains, promote recovery from injury and help with chronic condition flareups throughout life by promoting active living and ageing (Osteopathy Australia, 2024).
Treatments may include a combination of soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, manipulation, dry needling, stretching and exercises combined with education and advice on how to improve overall wellbeing. (Osteopathy Australia, 2024).
All treatments are tailored to your needs following a comprehensive assessment.
