Osteopathy
Osteopaths collaborate with individuals across all age groups, addressing a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. These professionals are university-educated allied health practitioners, registered with the national health practitioner registration board. The distinctive approach of osteopathy in managing injuries involves a comprehensive assessment of the individual's entire body and health. This holistic perspective guides the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management plans tailored to help clients achieve their health objectives.
Typically employing hands-on techniques, osteopaths utilize methods such as soft tissue massage, dry needling, joint mobilization, manipulation, stretching, as well as prescribe corrective exercises and injury recovery programs.
