Osteopaths are government-registered allied health practitioners who focus on your neuro-musculoskeletal system – the bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues that support your body and control its movements. Osteopaths provide Postural and movement assessments, one on one manual therapy (Massage, Manipulation, MET, SCS, TPT.) alongside clinical exercise programs, Gait rehabilitation, lifestyle and ergonomic advice.
