FAQ

  • Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy (hands-on treatment) that focuses on finding the source of your pain rather than simply treating the site of pain. Osteopaths utilise a combination of soft tissue massage, deep tissue massage, stretching, joint mobilisation, joint manipulation and dry needling and myofascial cupping techniques to help relieve your pain and get you moving freely and comfortably again.

  • Your first appointment will last from 45 to 60 minutes and will begin with a case history section where your osteopath will ask you about the reason for your visit (pain, stiffness, injury etc). They will also take a detailed medical history which will provide us with a thorough background and allow a more holistic view of your overall health. This will be followed by a hands-on treatment component and some advice regarding posture and potentially beneficial stretches or strengthening exercises to ensure best long term results.
