Osteopathy in Australia is a regulated allied health profession that combines traditional osteopathic principles with evidence-based practice.

Australian osteopaths are university-trained practitioners who work alongside other healthcare professionals to offer a holistic approach to patient care.

Modern osteopathy in Australia

Osteopathy plays an important role in chronic pain management, rehabilitation, and preventive health. It also plays a role in occupational health and sports medicine.

Osteopathy is partially covered by Medicare under the Chronic Disease Management program and by many private health insurance policies.

Osteopathic treatment

Osteopathy is founded on the principle that the body is a unified whole with an innate ability to heal itself.

 

Osteopathy emphasises the interrelationship between structure and function in the body, asserting that the alignment, mobility and strength of the musculoskeletal system are essential for overall health.

Osteopathy emphasises patient education, self-management strategies and preventive care to promote overall health and well-being.

Treatment plans often include lifestyle advice and exercise recommendations to promote long-term well-being and prevent recurrent injury.

Frequently asked questions about osteopathy

  • At your initial visit I will discuss your case history, conduct a series of physical examinations and provide you with an initial diagnosis. I will then develop and discuss a treatment plan with you and make a start with your treatment.

     

    I will always ensure you understand the nature of your condition, how to manage it and how long it may take to recover. You may wish to bring along some shorts to change into and copies of any referrals, test results or imaging reports.

  • You will normally be moving better after your treatment and experiencing less pain, however occasionally you may experience mild muscular soreness or fatigue as a side effect of massage and dry needling.

    This is a temporary effect and any post-treatment soreness will usually resolve within 24 hours with normal daily activity.

  • Maintaining fitness whilst managing an injury is very important. I will explain what the risks are for you and help you train around your injury safely.

     

    In some cases this will mean avoiding certain activities or movements for a period until it is safe to resume your normal routine. I work closely with personal trainers, exercise physiologists and coaches to ensure that exercise recommendations are consistent and sustainable.

  • Most health insurers offer cover for osteopathy under allied health and your rebate will vary depending on your level of cover.

    You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate if your condition has persisted for longer than 6 months. For this you will need to see your GP and obtain an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan.

  • All appointments are 30 minutes and may include different services depending on your requirements. Double appointments or longer can also be booked if desired and are charged at the same rate per 30 minutes.

     

    If you are running late please let us know and we will do our very best to accommodate you.

  • No. It is extremely important that you are comfortable throughout your treatment and I ensure this by carefully selecting treatments based on your tolerance and the stage of your condition.

     

    I will always take time to explain what different therapies involve and exactly what to expect during your treatment and afterwards.
