Osteopathic Services in Christchurch

At Triskelion Concussion Care and Osteopathy, we help you and your family move with comfort, confidence and ease. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing persistent aches and pains or simply trying to keep up with the demands of daily life, we are here to support you. 

Our Christchurch osteopathic clinic provides personalised, hands-on treatment in a warm and welcoming environment. We take the time to understand what’s really going on, so we are not just managing symptoms, but addressing the root cause. 

Our philosophy recognises the body’s natural ability to heal. Osteopathic treatment is designed to support that process by improving movement, reducing tension, and restoring balance so your body can function at its best. 

What do we treat?

We can support a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and will create a treatment plan specific and tailored to your needs, using a holistic, whole-body approach.

What Does an Osteopath Do

How do we do it?

  • Cranial Osteopathy: Gentle techniques applied to the head and body to ease tension, support the nervous system and encourage the body’s natural healing. Unlike it’s name, cranial is used for the whole body.  At Triskelion we specialise in this gentle approach. 
  • Visceral Osteopathy: Hands-on treatment targeting the body’s internal organs to restore mobility, relieve referred pain, and improve overall function. This approach can support digestion, nausea, breathing and overall wellbeing.
  • Structural Osteopathy: Hands-on manipulation of joints and the muscles, to relieve pain, restore movement and correct underlying causes of discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you can. Early treatment generally leads to faster recovery, but it is never too late. Whether your symptoms are recent or have been present for some time, osteopathic assessment can identify what is contributing and what can be done. No referral required.

Osteopathy is suitable for all ages, from newborns to older adults. We treat a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, headaches, joint pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, and post-injury recovery. If you are unsure whether osteopathy is right for you, get in touch.

This depends on your condition, how long symptoms have been present, and your recovery goals. We will talk you through what to expect at your first appointment. You can book online today.

While there is some overlap between these professions, osteopaths take a whole-body, holistic approach, assessing how different parts of the body interact and influence one another, rather than focusing solely on the area of pain. Treatment is hands-on and aims to address the root cause of symptoms rather than just the presenting complaint.

Osteopathic treatment can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and support a safe return to work following a workplace injury. We develop personalised treatment plans focused on your recovery and long-term wellbeing, and can work alongside ACC to ensure your care is coordinated and well-supported.
