The Consultation

The initial consultation includes a thorough history, examination and treatment. Osteopathic treatment addresses the site of your injury and all related structures. Our Osteopaths will utilise an array of hands-on techniques, including soft-tissue massage and stretching, joint articulation and mobilisation, and gentle cranio-sacral techniques.

Osteopaths are primary care health practitioners and are trained to carry out thorough physical assessments as well as standard medical examinations of the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system.

Osteopaths believe in the body’s natural ability to heal itself and we encourage our patients to utilise a home exercise and stretching program to decrease the number of treatments they require to restore their health and be active again. We also consider a healthy diet and nutrition, emotional wellbeing (through techniques such as stress reduction exercises and strategies) as important factors in your treatment.
