Osteopathy

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and hands-on treatment that focuses on the reciprocal relationship between structure and function of the body.

Osteopathic principles incorporate the concept of body unity; utilising a patient-centred approach to rebalance, maintain and inform physical and personal wellbeing. The osteopathic approach to healthcare places emphasis on diagnosing and addressing the root cause, and guiding the body to access its own potential to heal and repair itself.

Patient-specific osteopathic treatment, when applicable, may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue manipulation which may include stretching or massage. Aims of osteopathic treatment are to reduce pain, address joint restriction, release muscular tension, and improve circulatory and information flow around the body.
