Macarthur Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine built on the link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Skilled evaluation, diagnosis and a wide range of techniques are used to identify dysfunction in the body.

The body - as a holistic unit - is focused on

  • the skeleton,
  • the joints
  • muscles
  • nerves,
  • circulation,
  • connective tissue
  • and the internal organs.

Treatments may use techniques such as

  • stretching,
  • massage for general treatment of the soft tissue
  • mobilization of specific joints and soft tissues
  • gentle pain reducing techniques
  • strengthening of muscles
  • manipulative techniques
  • advice on diet and hydration
  • personalized exercise program
  • and more
