Osteopathy training in Australia requires 6 years of university study and is regulated under the government body of AHPRA.

The aim of an Osteopath is to improve how well your body functions by restoring balanced structure so the body can repair itself.

Although trained in (and still uses) the Direct Technique of manipulation, Colleens preferred modality of treatment is through the use of Indirect Techniques. The various Indirect techniques are especially suited in acute conditions.

Indirect Techniques include:

  1. Functional technique
  2. Muscle Energy Technique (Isometric muscle resistance)
  3. Cranial Osteopathy
  4. Counter-strain

With several years practising in Glebe at the Womens Health Centre and over 15 years alongside well known Eastern Suburbs Osteopaths Dr Robert Goodsell (Osteopath) and Dr Roman Maslak (Osteopath) Colleen Kent has a depth and breadth of experience. This experience also extends to a wide range of trusted practitioners that she will recommend if the patient requires, including GPs , Naturopaths , Homeopaths , Acupuncturists , Dentists , Podiatrists, Pilates , Yoga, Personal Trainers, and Massage Therapists .(See links under Colleen Kent)



Neck and Back Pain

  • Poor and repeated posture
  • Repetitive Overuse Strain from work positions
  • Whiplash
  • Scoliosus
  • Arthritic conditions
  • Incorrect Exercise Programmes
    Falls
  • Heavy Rehearsal Programmes for Dancers

Neck and back problems should be treated as soon as possible rather than waiting for the problem to go away.

Muscle spasms and nerve impingements can refer pain into your arms from the neck area or in the case of Lower Back into the thigh, calf and /or foot. Loss of strength or change in sensation in the form of pins and needles can also be associated.

Previous X-Rays or Scans can help explain these symptoms further and Colleen can make referrals and interpret as required.
