As your local Osteopath in Box Hill and Burwood, we focus on a holistic treatment plan.
Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy and treatment, which employs hands-on technique. Osteopaths consider the body to function as an integrated unit. As such, it is rare for osteopathic treatment to focus solely on a single area of the body. Assessment and treatment consider how the musculoskeletal, nervous, gastrointestinal and circulatory systems are functioning.
At Box Hill Osteopathy we use a variety of manual techniques, including:
- Myofascial release and soft tissue technique
- Resisted muscle lengthening
- Nerve mobilisation
- Dry needling (western medical acupuncture)
- Joint articulation
- Manipulation.
As a holistic therapy, our Osteopaths look beyond the treatment room and consider external factors that may be influencing the body’s inability to heal. Therefore, our Osteopaths may provide advice on diet, exercise, posture and stress. Through this comprehensive approach, we aim to provide long-lasting results.
As Australian Osteopaths we are government registered primary healthcare practitioners. Training is comprehensive. In addition to classic osteopathy, it covers medical sciences and diagnostics, orthopedics, neuroscience, and pain science. As primary practitioners we are equipped to carry out basic medical exams in order to determine if referral is necessary.
As your local Osteopath in Box Hill and Burwood we’re committed to delivering exceptional, personalised healthcare every time you visit.
