What Is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a "whole body" system of manual therapy, based on unique biomechanical principles, which uses a wide range of techniques to treat musculo-skeletal problems and other functional disorders of the body.

It was developed in America in the 1870’s by a Missouri Doctor, Andrew Taylor Still, and has developed to the point where it is now widely recognised throughout the world.

Osteopathy helps you achieve peak physical performance by treating a wide variety of conditions including sports injuries, postural problems, back and neck pain.

What Does an Osteopath Do?

Osteopaths are primary care practitioners, and are trained to be able to recognise conditions which require medical referral. They are also trained to carry out standard medical examinations of the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system.

In Australia, Osteopaths are statutorily registered practitioners and five year, full-time university training is available, which covers anatomy, physiology, pathology and general medical diagnosis in addition to Osteopathic technique.

How is Osteopathy Different?

Osteopathy treats your whole body as a connected system. Rather than being treated in isolation, injuries or dysfunctions are considered as part of the larger musculoskeletal framework, including bones, muscles, joints and ligaments.

  • Qualified Osteopaths study for 5 years fulltime at university to gain thorough knowledge of basic medical sciences and extensive clinical training.

  • Osteopaths make specific evaluations and physical treatment plans that may involve exercises, stretches and referrals to other healthcare professionals.

Osteopathic Treatments

Physical assessment is comprehensive and identifies the source of the problem as well as contributing factors elsewhere in the body.

Treatment consists of hands-on palpation and massage to release tight muscles, stretch ligaments and mobilise joints. Your Osteopathic Therapist may give you exercises or stretches to practice at home for strengthening parts of your body.

DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling heals muscle pain and dysfunction with small, solid filament needles inserted into trigger points throughout the body. These needles cause muscles to relax and can sometimes remove the trigger point entirely.

Manual Therapists around the world are now using this technique to effectively treat acute and chronic orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions.

TESTIMONIAL

“Mark has been my Osteopath for the last 3 years. Without his expertise I would not have completed 3 marathons, 3 half marathons and half a dozen 10 km races in a 3 year period successfully! His philosophy for treatment is to empower the patient so they can achieve their goals with as little intervention as possible. I love this approach!”
– Jo
