Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a gentle form of manual medicine that uses a variety of techniques to diagnose and treat the structure and functions of the body.
An osteopath will utilise their finely tuned hands on techniques to address the dysfunctions in the body, thus improving the function and leading to a better quality of life for the person. Osteopathy is a healthcare system that looks to treat the whole person, taking into account life style factors, previous medical history and injuries. Treatment will then address the cause of the problem, not solely on the presenting symptoms.
Osteopaths are highly qualified, primary healthcare practitioners and are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (APHRA). Our osteopaths regularly undergo continued professional development and post graduate studies. They are passionate about their work, and are truly interested in helping you regain your health and wellbeing.
Our osteopaths use gentle indirect treatment techniques, including cranial osteopathy, or cranio-sacral therapy. Using minimal force to your body. Allowing us to treat any ages, from babies to the elderly and many different types of conditions.
