OSTEOPATHY
Osteopaths are experts in the treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain and seek to treat the underlying cause as well as the symptoms of pain and discomfort. The goal of an osteopath is to get you out of pain and guide you back to optimum health so that you can continue to function well in your daily life.
Osteopaths are university trained in the diagnosis, treatment and management of musculoskeletal disorders. Osteopathy is recognised by private health insurers and can be covered by Medicare for some patients if referred by your GP. Osteopathy is the oldest of the modern manual medicines, it originated in the 1800's United States.
In order to practice as an osteopathic doctor in Australia you must have undertaken either a double bachelor degree or bachelor and masters degree program at a university. Osteopaths are by law required to undertake continued professional development each year and they are recognised and registered by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

CUPPING
Cupping therapy, an ancient practice (dating back to 1500 B.C.) involves placing glass cups on the body to create suction. This technique offers numerous physical benefits, including increased blood flow, muscle relaxation and pain relief. Cupping has recently gained attention for its ability to release fascial restrictions and enhance lubrication between tissues and muscles.
Cupping can help muscles regain their natural range of motion and increase nutrient supply, improving both muscle function and strength. Athletes and weight lifters often report feeling less restricted and stronger afterwards. Cupping is also effective for promoting gut health, aiding in weight loss, and improving digestion. Additionally, it can help treat respiratory issues like asthma and lung infections by breaking up chest congestion.
In our clinic, we use dry cups with air suction.This gentle suction pulls the muscles, skin, and
fascia upward into the cup, offering a less abrasive alternative to traditional massage.
While cupping may leave temporary marks on the skin, its overall benefits make it a valuable addition to any wellness routine.

DRY NEEDLING
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points in the muscles. This practice, designed to relieve muscle pain and improve function, is gaining popularity for its effectiveness and targeted approach.
During a dry needling session, the osteopath carefully inserts needles into the skin and muscle. This process may cause a brief twitch response, indicating the release of muscle tension. Though the sensation can vary, most patients find the treatment to be comfortable and minimally invasive.
Dry needling works by stimulating the muscle tissue, promoting blood flow, and encouraging the body’s natural healing processes. This can result in reduced muscle tension, alleviated pain, and enhanced range of motion. Many patients report significant relief from conditions like chronic back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries.
In addition to pain relief, dry needling can improve flexibility and muscle performance. It is also effective in treating headaches, fibromyalgia and temporomandibular joint disorders. While some minor soreness may occur post-treatment, it typically resolves quickly. Overall, dry needling is a safe and effective way to address muscle pain and improve physical health, offering a promising solution for those seeking relief from muscular discomfort.

EFFECTIVE INJURY MANAGEMENT WITH OSTEOPATHY
Managing injuries focuses on reducing pain, restoring function, and rehabilitating the area so you can return to the activities you love. Ostepath’s has a deep understanding of anatomy and body mechanics, we are often the first point of contact for assessing and diagnosing injuries. If necessary, we can refer you for imaging or to other providers, such as exercise physiologists, throughout the injury management process.
Our team conducts thorough assessments of the affected and surrounding areas, providing a diagnosis, hands-on manual therapy, exercise interventions, and advice for managing your injury and returning to activity. We collaborate with our patients to keep them as active as possible during recovery.
For athletes, preventative care and maintenance are crucial for identifying areas that are not functioning optimally. These imbalances across joints or muscles can lead to problems. Early identification allows our practitioners to work with you to minimise injury risks through hands-on treatment, exercise interventions, or load management.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to prevent one, our comprehensive approach ensures you receive the best care to support your physical health and active lifestyle.
