An Osteopath is a university educated therapist who is thoroughly trained in anatomy and physiology so they can bring a deeper understanding to your physical ailments. We understand how you move and how to help you feel less pain and move more freely.
One central idea of Osteopathy is that the body is one, complete functioning unit and needs to be treated as such, not a collection of parts.
We are extensively trained in manual therapy, so we can articulate your joints as well as stretch and massage your muscles.
It is a hands-on care approach, where we customise your treatment and rehabilitation to each individual's needs. This can include referral for X-rays, MRI's or on to other medical practitioners.
