Osteopathy is a gentle, safe and effective hands-on therapy focused on assessing and treating the whole musculoskeletal system. The aim of osteopathic treatment is to restore function to the affected area to relieve pain, discomfort, and restricted movement. Osteopaths use a range of techniques including soft tissue therapy, stretching, joint and spinal mobilisation, and exercise advice. Importantly, osteopaths assess the body as a whole and aim to identify and address the underlying cause of your symptoms, not just the area of pain. Myotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, particularly relating to muscles, joints and nerves. Myotherapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, dry needling, trigger point therapy, cupping, joint mobilisation and corrective exercises. Treatment is often targeted and tailored to specific injuries, chronic pain patterns, or movement dysfunction. Remedial massage focuses on relieving muscle tension, reducing stiffness, and improving circulation through targeted soft tissue techniques. It can be especially beneficial for tight, overworked muscles, stress-related tension, and general muscular discomfort. Many people find it deeply relaxing while still being therapeutic and supportive for recovery. All three therapies offer valuable benefits. The most suitable approach depends on your individual needs, presentation, goals, and personal preference. We take the time to discuss your concerns and work with you to choose a treatment style that feels right for your body and supports your long-term health.

Your initial consultation is an extended session, allowing your osteopath time to thoroughly explore your history and current concerns. When you arrive, you’ll be asked to complete a new patient form so we can gather relevant medical history and details about your current presentation. In the treatment room, your osteopath will conduct a comprehensive hands-on assessment, including evaluating range of motion, muscular strength, and overall function. This helps us form a provisional diagnosis and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Wherever appropriate, treatment will begin during this first visit to support your recovery and may include soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, adjunctive therapies, and tailored exercise rehabilitation.

Please make sure you bring any referrals (medicare, DVA) or other paperwork, including reports, scans (x-rays, MRI, CT, Ultrasounds) and any other tests that you believe are relevant to your consultation. Please wear comfortable clothing.

Osteopathic care is safe, gentle and effective without the use of drugs or surgery. It can assist the young body to adapt to growth-related changes which can prevent other health problems.

Effective, early treatment can prevent other problems from occurring.

Yes, osteopathy is safe and gentle throughout all stages of pregnancy. As your body adapts and changes, it’s common to experience discomfort such as back pain, pelvic pain, rib discomfort, or postural strain. Osteopathic treatment can help ease these musculoskeletal aches while supporting your body as it prepares for birth. We may also recommend Clinical Pilates as a safe, low-impact, pregnancy-friendly form of movement. It can help strengthen your pelvic floor and deep core muscles, improve flexibility and balance, and reduce the likelihood of pregnancy-related pain. Supporting these muscles during pregnancy is also beneficial for minimising abdominal separation and reducing the risk of postnatal concerns such as incontinence. Our focus is always on providing gentle, individualised care to help you feel supported and comfortable during this important time.

Pilates is a fantastic form of rehabilitative exercise aimed at whole body conditioning and improving your core stability and strength. Being both Osteopaths and Rehabilitative Pilates instructors, we apply our large amount of clinical experience to both your hands on treatment and your rehabilitative exercises.
