So Put Your Health In Our Hands!

What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a system of health care that focuses on the treatment of the physical body, the joints, muscles and connective tissue with gentle ‘hands on’ manipulation  incorporating such techniques as soft tissue massage, stretching, spinal manipulation, balance ligamentous tension, cranial osteopathy and exercises to improve the body’s functional capacity and self healing properties

What is the difference between Osteopathy, Chiropractic and Physiotherapy?
It is not our place to tell you what a Chiropractor or Physiotherapist does.  However Osteopaths have specialized University and post-graduate training in the treatment of musculo-skeletal complaints (ie problems affecting the structure and function of the body).  

What techniques do Osteopaths use?
Our techniques range from direct techniques such as spinal manipulation, muscle energy and soft tissue techniques and stretches; to more gentle indirect techniques such as cranial and balance ligamentous tension. Osteopaths also prescribe rehabilitation exercises to sustain a good level of health.  

Do I need a referral to see an Osteopath?
No. It is not necessary to have a Doctors referral to consult an Osteopath. Osteopaths are primary care practitioners and are trained to recognize conditions which require medical referral.
