Osteopathy involves the application of a broad range of techniques including soft tissue massage, muscle mobilisation, stretching and joint manipulation designed to treat injury, relieve pain, improve mobility and increase performance.
Osteopaths have advanced skills in the assessment, diagnosis, management and prevention of problems affecting the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems which are the most common sources of injury and pain.
The skills of an Osteopath extend to the prescription of an exercise program or ergonomic and postural advice as a means of enhancing recovery and preventing re-injury.
