Australian Osteopaths are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency (AHPRA), university-qualified allied health professionals who work in a variety of settings. Your osteopath is trained to understand how the parts of your body should work together and the impact if they do not.
At your first appointment and in any subsequent session(s), you may receive any of the below osteopathic treatments following the clinical assessment conducted by your osteopath.
Musculoskeletal and nervous system assessments – Your osteopath will use a range of tools to identify what might be happening in the body.
Manual therapy – A range of ‘hands-on’ techniques that may give relief from musculoskeletal pain, discomfort and may help tissues in the body.
Clinical exercise programs – Activities and movement strategies for use at home, work or in other settings. Exercise may help you return to activities you enjoy, for example after an injury or surgery.
Body function assessments - Movement, postural, positioning advice and ergonomic assessments.
Therapeutic needling techniques - Such as dry needling, trigger point therapy or acupuncture.
Patient education and advice - Lifestyle, stress management, diet or other factors that may influence your pain, injury or movement.

Osteopathy combines exercise prescription, movement and lifestyle advice, dry needling and hands-on treatment.
Hands-on treatments can include massage, stretching, repetitive movements, mobilisation and/or manipulation.
If your injuries require hands-on treatment of painful and tender areas, your osteopath let you know.
Your osteopath may also provide education and advice to help you manage your condition between appointments.
This may include giving you exercises to do at home or at work.
