Our Philosophy:
1/. The body is a single unit
Although there are many parts in the body, each part works for the benefit of the other parts.
2/. The body has self regulating mechanisms
In order for the body to operate smoothly through life it needs to have a way of protecting, repairing and regulating. These mechanisms allow the body to make adjustments to stresses caused by the environment and still maintain homeostasis. These mechanisms keep the body in balance and regardless of what works upon it or what happens.
3/. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
In other words, structure can affect function and function can affect structure.
4/. Rational treatment is based on the first three principles
The osteopath examines, diagnosis & treats based upon the above principle.
For you this means that treatment extends beyond the clinic and involves diet, exercise and lifestyle.
Osteopaths complete a 5 year medical degree; and are government registered allied health professionals. Osteopathy has been practised in Australia for over 100 years.
Osteopathy is a manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework and improving the overall function of the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Osteopaths uniquely do not simply focus on the problem area but rather take a whole body approach to determine the cause of the problem, aiming to resolve the problem or at least manage it more effectively.
