Frequently Asked Questions

Osteopath's in Australia are university trained nationally registered allied health professionals. Osteopaths complete five years of university where they are trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions using a hands-on, holistic approach. Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that appreciates the interconnectedness of the many systems of the body which is demonstrated in our holistic approach to treatment. Osteopaths use a variety of techniques such as stretching, massage, and joint manipulation to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support your body's innate healing processes. Whether you're dealing with back pain, sports injuries, migraines, or chronic conditions, our tailored treatment plans aim to address the root cause of your symptoms and enhance your overall well-being.

Osteopaths are trained to effectively diagnose and treat various musculoskeletal conditions. These include but are not limited to: - Back pain - Neck pain - Headaches and migraines - TMJ (jaw) dysfunction - Shoulder pain - Hip pain - Knee pain - Ankle and Foot pain - Joint sprains - Tendon injuries - Vertigo If you are unsure whether an Osteopath can help, please contact the clinic.

As Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy, you will likely be asked to remove some clothing. I suggest wearing loose fitting and comfortable clothing to your appointment so you don't feel restricted. There will be gowns available should you require them.

Just yourself! If you have any relevant scans, doctors reports or other paperwork you believe may be helpful to your Osteopath, then please bring these along.

Initial appointment: $130 (45-60 minutes) Return appointment: $102 (Up to 30 minutes) Long appointment: $200 (60 minutes) If you have Osteopathy listed on your private health extras you will receive a rebate. This will be processed after your appointment and you will only pay the gap. All health fund rebates will differ, please contact your own health fund if you are unsure what your rebate will be.

Private paying clients do not need a referral to see an Osteopath in Australia. If your appointments are partially funded by a Third Party Provider then you may require a referral. Please contact the clinic to discuss if you are unsure.
