Osteopathy

Our Osteopaths are university trained and government registered and participate in ongoing professional education and skill development.

Osteopaths treat all areas of the body - from Head 2 Toe. The most common presentations we see are neck pain, back pain, headaches and migraines, shoulder pain. We also treat hip and pelvic pain, knee and foot pain, elbow and wrist pain repetitive strain injuries, pregnancy related issues, digestive issues and various concerns in babies and kids, just to name a few.

Osteopaths treat everyone from babies to the elderly using a combination of non-invasive, hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, gentle joint mobilisation or manipulation, stretching, cranio-sacral technique, dry needling, visceral (organ) and nerve manipulation and more. Osteopaths often treat many areas of the body, not just where you feel the pain in order to resolve the real cause of the pain to get more permanent change.

We take the time to understand your background, your health history and your body to provide you with a personalised plan to get you back to your best. In addition to hands-on treatment, your plan may also include exercises and lifestyle advice in areas such as sleep hygiene, diet and stress management to prevent these issues long term and get you enjoying your life again.

What Techniques Do Osteopaths Use?

Our Osteopaths draw from a wide range of available techniques including:

  • Soft tissue massage - applied at varying depths according to patient comfort to reduce muscle and facial tension, increase blood flow and reduce pain
  • Gentle joint mobilisation - repetitive joint movements to improve range of motion and improve joint health
  • Joint manipulation (HVLA) - High Velocity Low Amplitude technique to improve joint range of motion
  • Stretching, including specific joint stretching (MET) - Muscle Energy Technique to improve range of motion and lengthen muscles
  • Cranio-sacral technique - to restore natural rhythms to the body and range of motion to cranial bones
  • Dry needling - insertion of fine, single-use needles into specific points to reduce pain, calm the nervous system, improve blood flow and healing response and reduce pain
  • Visceral (organ) manipulation - improve mobility of organs and their supportive tissues (ligaments and fascia) to restore organ health and reduce compensation in the musculoskeletal system

The techniques your osteopath will recommend for your management are selected specifically for you and your condition according to your symptoms, our assessment results and your preferences. We will discuss our recommendations and treatment options with you before we commence treatment and will only use techniques that you are comfortable with.
