About Osteopathy

But, what’s an Osteo ?

An Osteopath! - A manual therapist who examines and treats musculoskeletal conditions

It’s not just all about bones, though those are fantastic !

Osteo can help with many different injuries, pains and dysfunctions

With both treatment, rehabilitation and training in strength and conditioning, we can also help improve performance in sport and decrease the likelihood of injuries

Osteo does include hands on manual therapy that ranges from gentle techniques, stretches, massage, muscle energy technique (a way to help reset the tension in the muscle, involving muscles contracting and relaxing in a controlled way), tissue and joint mobilisations. We also use dry needling and kinesio tape to help with some treatments

Movement is a big component too. We look at how your whole body moves and how we can make that movement more efficient and less painful so that you can get back to your day to day activities and even perform better in your chosen sport

Osteopathy is also covered under medicare for Allied Health Medicare Referrals (AHMR, aka: TCA:Team Care Arrangement or CDM:Chronic Disease Management), where 5 sessions can be subsidised under a care plan that can be created with your GP for a chronic problem

Follow up (30min): checking-in after the previous session, progressing with treatment and exercise as needed

Medicare rebates available for chronic conditions. A Care Plan is needed from your GP for rebates.
