Our Osteopathic Treatments

Osteopathy Treatment

What is an Osteopath?

We focus on your neuro-musculoskeletal system, meaning the bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues that support your body and control your movements. Osteopaths will also assess, examine and diagnose your body and use ‘hands-on’ treatments for your complaints. We help to find and release structures and tissues that cause pain or restricted movement in your body.

What does a treatment involve?

Medical History

We ask questions about your symptoms, medications, medical history and other factors that may contribute to your health.

Examination

A full osteopathic examination may involve postural assessments, movement and functional assessments, orthopaedic and neurological tests and assessments of certain activities or exercises.
