Why See an Osteopath?
Osteopathy takes a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on the entire body to stimulate healing and enhance mobility, circulation, and overall well-being.
Osteopaths typically employ gentle, non-invasive therapies such as muscle soft-tissue work, joint mobilisation or manipulation, stretching, and exercises. Additionally, they offer valuable education and advice to support each individual and their healing process.
As university-trained and government-registered healthcare professionals, osteopaths prioritise understanding your medical history, lifestyle, and body dynamics. Allowing them to create personalised treatment and management plans. Through hands-on treatments, tailored advice, and comprehensive management strategies, osteopaths aim not only to alleviate immediate pain but also to foster long-term well-being and injury prevention.
People will often seek osteopathic treatment when they experience long and short-term problems such as:
• Sporting injuries and sports taping
• Pregnancy and postpartum care
• Neck, back pain and headaches/migraines
• Leg, knee or ankle pain
• Sciatica and other nerve pain
• Muscular sprains and strains
• Tendon and repetitive strain injuries
• Shoulder and arm pain, strains and injuries
• Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis advice
