An osteopath is an Allied Health professional who specialises in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system.
In Osteopathy we believe that the body can heal itself if the right combination of manual techniques such as massage and the manipulation of muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons are used to bring the body back to a cohesive whole.
Osteopaths look at your complete history and observe how your body functions when you sit, stand and lie down, as well as physically examining the patient by using palpation to determine which areas of the body are healthy and which are in pain.
An osteopath observes the spine, shoulders and pelvis to determine where the body is out of balance.
Different techniques can be used in osteopathic treatment, such as the pumping technique, traction, manipulations, stretching techniques, muscle energy techniques, counterstrain techniques or high velocity-low amplitude and cranio-sacral.
If osteopathic treatment is suitable for you, a treatment plan will be devised for you by your osteopath.
