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 and general musculoskeletal injuries
  • Pregnancy and postpartum care
  • Neck or back pain
  • Leg, knee or ankle pain
  • Postural issues
  • Sciatica
  • Muscular sprains and strains
  • Tendon problems
  • Scoliosis
  • Shoulder or elbow pain
  • Osteoporosis
  • Arthritis
  • Headaches and migraines
