About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a healthcare practice that emphasizes the link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. It treats a range of structural problems in the body that can affect mobility and function and lead to other problems.

Andrew Taylor Still, MD DO, developed osteopathy in 1874 after discovering the significance of living anatomy in health and disease. Osteopathy has grown as a recognised allied health with a combination of traditional methods and modern scientific philosophies.

Consultations…

During your first consultation with an osteopath, they will ask questions about your problem and symptoms, medical history, and any recent x-rays or test results you may have. They will conduct a full osteopathic examination, which may involve diagnostic, orthopaedic or neurological tests, postural assessments, and activities or exercises. Your osteopath may also provide education and advice to help you manage your condition between treatments and may perform hands-on treatment such as massage, stretching, repetitive movements, mobilization or manipulation.

Your initial consultation will last 45 minutes, and follow-up treatments are shorter, taking 30 minutes. Generally, you would expect to see some changes in your symptoms after one or two visits; however, some long-term or chronic conditions may require a longer course or more frequent treatment. If you have any concerns, your osteopath will be happy to discuss them with you.
