The first part of the treatment involves history talking. This is comprised of specific questions relating to your injury, your general health makeup as well as your goals from treatment.

Your Osteopath will then perform some examination to try and uncover how you’re moving and which areas of the body need to be addressed.

The Osteopath will then explain what they think is going on and put together a treatment plan for not only this sessions but for the upcoming sessions.

Treatment will then follow with a combination of hands on treatment targeting pain relief and improved function.

Lastly, you can expect some take home exercises to perform as we try and get you closer to your performance goals.

Osteopathy is a nationally recognised form of hands-on, allied health care that takes on a holistic approach to treatment. Osteopathy recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths use a range of manual therapy techniques to focus on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue, and internal organs function as a holistic unit.
