OUR SERVICES
Osteopathy
Osteopaths focus on the neuro-musculoskeletal system, which comprises bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues that support the human body and control its movements. They provide musculoskeletal and nervous system assessments, manual therapy, clinical exercise programs, and movement, postural, positioning advice and ergonomic assessments. They may also offer therapeutic needling techniques, such as dry needling, trigger point therapy or acupuncture. Osteopaths may also offer ongoing support and educational advice about lifestyle, stress management, diet or other factors that may influence a person’s pain, injury or movement.
In Australia, osteopaths are university-qualified allied health professionals who take the time to listen and treat patients as a whole, not just focusing on one pain point. Osteopaths are government-registered allied health practitioners who complete university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general healthcare diagnosis, and osteopathic techniques.
Shock wave therapy
Shock wave therapy uses sound waves via an applicator on the surface of the skin to the musculoskeletal tissue beneath. It helps break down scar tissue, reduces musculoskeletal pain & inflammation, as well as promoting tissue repair & improved joint mobility. It is non-invasive, non-painful & can be used for acute or chronic pain for a wide range of conditions. It helps to relieve acute neck & lower back pain & is great for tendinopathies including achilles tendinitis, shoulder impingement & tennis elbow, as well as plantar fasciitis. To see if Shock Wave Therapy is suitable for you, please contact the clinic.
Cupping and dry needling
The Myofascial Cupping and dry needling technique provides profound benefits, particularly in assisting the body in maintaining its range of motion, eliminating Myofascial trigger points, and reducing restrictive and sometimes painful fascial adhesions commonly found from repetitive movement originating from sports and the workplace. By reducing fascial adhesions, while encouraging optimal hydration levels of soft tissue, Myofascial Cupping and dry needling can assist in reducing the incidence of injury and maintaining functional soft tissue.
