Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic hands on approach of that uses a wide range of techniques to treat musculoskeletal problems. A typical consultation will include a detailed medical history, thorough physical assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management plan. We use treatment techniques such as joint mobilisation, muscle energy techniques, soft tissue massage, dry needling and joint manipulation. We also offer self care-strategies such as ergonomic advice and exercise programs.
Australian Osteopaths are government registered health professionals with 5 years full time university training.

FAQ
Do I need a referral?
No, you can make an appointment directly with our clinic.
Under certain schemes you may need a referral.
If you have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition and require complex care, you may be eligible for Chronic Disease Management (CDM) assistance. The GP must complete a special referral form to refer you to an osteopath for treatment.
What do I need to bring?
Although there are not many conditions that require diagnostic imaging before a first appointment, if you have any X-rays, scans, diagnostic imaging, test results or reports for your injury or condition, bring them along.
What should I wear?
It’s important that you feel comfortable, so wear a loose shirt or T/shirt, and loose pants or shorts, or bring loose clothes with you to change into at the appointment.
You can check with us beforehand, however often you will be asked to remove some clothing for treatment.
