Created by Dr Andrew Taylor Still in the US, Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system in order to relieve pain, restore a range of motion and enhance the body’s capacity to heal.
Health is not simply the absence of disease or pain. It is a state of balance and harmony between the body and mind of a person.
In health a person should be able to respond to events like accident, infection or emotional stress, deal with these events and restore itself to optimal health.
Cranial Osteopathy is a subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle manipulative pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body.
Cranial Osteopaths are trained to feel a very subtle, rhythmical shape change that is present in all the body tissue. This is called involuntary motion.
Structural Osteopathy is a direct technique used to work on a joint that doesn’t move enough or muscle that needs to relax. Cranial Osteopathy is an indirect technique used to assist the body’s natural capacity for self-repair and self-correction.
The first consultation takes 45mn.
This includes a medical case history and consists of questions about the current problem, past history and general health. This initiates the basis for a diagnosis which will be completed with a physical assessment.
Following the diagnosis, a management plan will be agreed upon before treatment starts.
The treatment is carried out with the patient fully clothed unless specific tests have to be performed.
If your injury is caused by an accident, you may be entitled to a subsidised treatment where ACC contribute to part of your treatment costs. Please talk to us to know if you are eligible.
If you already have an ACC number, please bring the details with you.
We are accredited ACC provider. If you need to make a claim, your Osteopath can create a claim for you.
