What is an Osteopath?
Osteopathy is one of ten regulated healthcare professions in Australia that emphasizes physical manipulation of the body’s muscle tissue and bones. Using osteopathic medicine is a holistic manual medicine that is much more involved than physiotherapy, massage or chiropractic medicine.
Understanding that all parts of the body are intrinsically linked, and the body has its own healing mechanism, we focus on the whole body, including the soft tissues (such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons), the spine and nervous system. This means we may use a variety of different hands-on methods including spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, visceral manipulation, muscle energy techniques and stretching.
Although osteopathy is best known as a form of hands-on medicine, we may also refer you to other healthcare providers and can offer insights and advice on injury prevention, pain management and rehabilitation programs. We will also work with you to determine the underlying causes contributing to your condition which means we may delve into your lifestyle and consider environmental factors that could be holding you back from long-term health improvements.
Our team at Still Point Osteopathy will work with you to create an individualised treatment plan that includes exercise routines, relaxation techniques and how to move your body in a way that is better for your joints and muscles.

Tailored Treatments
Your treatment is tailored specifically to your needs and with realistic prognosis and treatment plans.
At Still Point Osteopathy, we have a special interest in treating complex and chronic pain. We treat patients of all ages and physical conditions including pregnant women, children, elderly, and athletes. In some disorders, osteopathic medicine may not be appropriate, however, our team of qualified professionals will ask about your medical history to treat you in the context of your overall health.
We tailor our approach to each individual and focus on diagnosing and treating any underlying conditions. At the heart of osteopathy is the study of biomechanics and how each part of the musculoskeletal system interacts with and influences every other part.
This means that though you may have an injured ankle, you will likely favour the other foot which can cause an imbalance over time and lead to other injuries.
