Osteopathy is a recognised and professional system of manual therapy that strongly emphasises the identification of causes for your body problems. Osteopaths use gentle and effective techniques such as stretching, joint mobilisation, massage and manipulation to skillfully address the significant biomechanical dysfunctions in your body that relate to your complaint. Osteopaths primarily treat musculoskeletal injuries such as back pain, neck pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, wrist and ankle problems but can also help with other problems too.

Osteopaths are university trained, government registered, allied health professionals. Currently an osteopath undertakes a five-year, university masters degree to achieve registration in Australia.

Osteopaths are primary care practitioners and are trained to recognise and refer cases that require further diagnostic imaging, medical, psychological or social intervention. You do not need a referral to make an appointment. Your osteopath will work in conjunction with any existing health professional.
