Osteopathy Services in Geelong
Osteopathy involves assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions with a variety of manual and adjunctive techniques. Techniques aim to support physical function, recognising that individual responses to care differ. Our osteopaths are able to treat a wide range of conditions across all ages.
Osteopathic treatment usually involves a combination of techniques and can be applied to:
- muscles, fascia and tendons such as massage, stretching or myofascial release;
- joints, such as articulation or manipulation;
- enhance breathing and fluid circulation such as working on the ribcage, diaphragm, and inherent body rhythms; and
- exercise prescription, postural and lifestyle advice.
Osteopathic care at East Geelong Osteopathy includes gentle osteopathic techniques, exercise prescription and advice on posture, diet and lifestyle. Current evidence indicates that the best management for many musculoskeletal conditions is a combination of a physical therapy such as Osteopathy, exercise and lifestyle modification. We combine osteopathic techniques with exercise advice and lifestyle recommendations to support each patient’s management plan.
