What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is an internationally recognised form of complementary healthcare that emphasises the important role the musculoskeletal system plays in supporting optimal health.
Osteopaths are registered allied health practitioners who have completed post-graduate level university training in clinical sciences including anatomy, physiology, pathology, clinical diagnosis & manual therapy technique to provide comprehensive care to suit individual needs and goals.
Osteopaths look closely at the relationship between structure & function within the body to diagnose the cause of pain and develop a treatment plan.
Osteopathic treatment involves the therapeutic use of manual therapy including a range of “hands-on” techniques, which may provide relief from musculoskeletal pain and assist in tissue recovery.
