Osteopathy - Newtown, Geelong

What is an Osteopath?

Osteopaths are Allied Health providers using manual therapy to help decrease pain, improve function and restore quality of life. Osteopathy is based around a unique (but quite logical) philosophy of assessing, diagnosing and treating the CAUSE behind pain & dysfunction - not just the symptom. Osteopaths are highly trained practitioners with a minimum 5-year Masters degree at University, and as such, are registered through AHPRA - which means you can claim Osteopathy on your private health insurance (provided you have extras cover). Treatment techniques are varied depending on your presentation and preferences, and can include the following:

• Massage

• Joint articulation & mobilisation

• PNF stretching

• Strengthening

• Myofascial release

• Joint adjustments

• Trigger point release
