Osteopathic Treatments

Health Fund Rebates are available

Osteopathy is a manual therapy that treats the body as a unit.  As a result, osteopaths typically do not treat areas of the body in isolation. Instead, they address the main area of concern, as well as the surrounding structures to facilitate optimal healing. Osteopaths study for 5 years at university and must register with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
