Our Osteopaths use manipulation techniques such as articulation, gentle joint manipulation, soft tisssue massage and resistance stretching (MET), cranial treatment and functional treatment to assist you to achieve normal pain free movement and function by correcting underlying dysfunctions.
Our Osteopaths have extensive experience working with all levels and types of athletes, including national and elite level athletes.

WHAT DOES THE CONSULTATION INVOLVE?
The initial consultation includes a thorough history, examination and treatment. Osteopathic treatment addresses the site of your injury and all related structures.
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.
