What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a holistic method of diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal pain and movement disorders. Our osteopaths are trained to assess each individual and determine the best methods to correct these issues, helping your body heal itself.
Treatment Methods
Our osteopathic treatment incorporates gentle manual techniques, such as massage, soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, and manipulation. Our experienced practitioners work closely with you to create a tailor-made treatment plan. We also provide ongoing rehabilitation and injury management, as well as lifestyle advice appropriate to your injury.
Your First Appointment
As registered primary care practitioners, appointments don't require a GP referral. During your first session, we will gather comprehensive information about your current issues and medical history to determine the most beneficial treatment method going forward. We use hands-on osteopathic techniques and clinical tests, if required, to conduct a full examination and develop a personalised treatment plan.
After Your Consultation
At Blackwood Osteopathy, we focus on long-term improvement, not just temporary pain relief. Our skilled osteopathic practitioners will provide advice and suggest techniques to implement between sessions. We're committed to helping you achieve the safest and most gentle solution for your musculoskeletal concerns.
Our Practitioners
Our dedicated practitioners have undergone extensive training and are registered with AHPRA and the Osteopathy Board of Australia. They are committed to staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and research in the field of osteopathy.
