Osteopathy is a manual medicine utilising a whole body approach to enhance health by re-establishing balance to the musculoskeletal system. Each person attending an osteopathic clinic is unique, and so the osteopathic treatment they receive will be tailored to their presentation. Osteopathy is covered by most private health funds and the Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) scheme.
An osteopath uses their academic knowledge with a thorough physical examination to diagnose the cause of a patient’s presenting complaint. Osteopaths use many varied techniques in their treatments in order to improve the function of a person’s skeleton, joints, muscles, connective tissue, nervous system and circulation. These treatment techniques include massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation, and other gentle osteopathic modalities to improve a presenting problem.
Osteopathy is a government regulated (AHPRA) allied health profession (along with physiotherapy and chiropractic). All Osteopaths are University qualified with extensive knowledge in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and musculoskeletal pathophysiology.
