What We Treat
Everyday aches & pains
Whether your pain has come on suddenly or has been building overtime, we look at the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms — including movement, strength, activity levels, work demands and recovery.
Overuse injuries often manifest when the demands on your body exceed its current capacity. We not only treat the painful area, but we look at the bigger picture to support your treatment plan.
The evidence: Osteopathic and other manual therapies have evidence supporting their use for a range of conditions, particularly low back and neck pain. Best results are achieved when hands-on therapy is combined with exercise, education and an active approach to recovery.
Headaches & Jaw-related tension
Some headaches can be associated with tension and dysfunction around the neck, upper back and jaw. We assess these areas to determine whether a musculoskeletal component may be contributing to your symptoms. If your symptoms suggest that your headache requires further investigation, we’ll recommend appropriate referral.
The evidence: Manual therapy can provide benefits for some people with tension-type and neck-related headaches, particularly when combined with exercise and other active strategies.
Sporting injuries
We can help you understand your injury, manage symptoms and progressively rebuild your strength and movement to get you back to sport. Your treatment may include hands-on care with exercises progressed according to your sport, goals and current capacity.
The evidence: Active rehabilitation, progressive loading and appropriate management of training load are central to recovery from many sporting injuries.
Healthy ageing & Staying strong
Osteopathy can support older adults who want to maintain their mobility, strength and independence. We can help manage musculoskeletal aches and stiffness while incorporating exercises that support strength, balance and confidence with movement.
The focus is not simply on treating pain — it's on helping you maintain your physical capacity and continue doing the things you enjoy.
The evidence: Strength, balance and physical activity programs have strong evidence for improving physical function and helping older adults maintain independence.
Digestive & Abdominal concerns
Osteopathy isn’t limited to muscles and joints. Where appropriate, assessment and treatment may include gentle hands-on techniques alongside lifestyle advice. Digestive symptoms can have many causes, so we take a thorough history and recommend medical assessment where appropriate.
The evidence: Research into osteopathic treatment for digestive conditions is still developing. Emerging studies suggest benefits for symptoms such as constipation and abdominal pain.
