Back Into Osteopathy

What Is Osteopathy

Osteopathy is described as a therapeutic manual medicine that addresses entire body health through treatment of the musculoskeletal system.

Osteopathy focuses on structures such as our muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and connective tissue as well as nerves and circulation to achieve the best results for our patients.

Osteopathy is a holistic allied health profession that treats all patients ranging from children, athletes as well as the elderly.

As A New Patient

At Back Into Osteopathy, we will go through a detailed discussion on your current discomfort and previous medical history that is relevant to your current complaint.
An assessment is performed to see what your limitations and restrictions are as well as notifying your health and strength.
Treatment is carried out based on findings during the assessment.
We’ll take the time to discuss the ‘working diagnosis’ of your injury – what is wrong, why it is and what we can do to improve it.
Specific movements and/or exercises may be prescribed to get long-term results from home.

Osteopathic Treatment

We use our experienced hands-on treatment to decrease pain levels and improve mobility and flexibility of our patients.
We use a range of techniques and make our choice of treatment depending upon the patient and the condition. This includes stretching and massage for general treatment of the soft tissues along with mobilisation of specific joints.
We provide exercises to our patients in order to assist them in achieving our goals of better health and wellbeing.
With a focus on education and positive self-changes, we can manage current conditions as well as prevent future occurrences, and seek to achieve long-term results.
At our Osteopath Wantirna clinic, we’re proud of our prompt referral to other allied and medical health professionals when required such as general practitioners and radiology.
