Essendon Osteopathy

Osteopathy In Essendon

Experience Expert Osteopathy Treatment 

Osteopathy is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment which lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. When the body is balanced and efficient, just like a well-tuned engine, it will function with the minimum amount of wear and tear, leaving more energy for living.

Our Essendon Osteopathy Sports Injury Centre Team uses many of the conventional medical assessments and tools for diagnosis. The main strength of Osteopathic practice lies in the unique way the patient is assessed from a mechanical, functional, and postural standpoint and the manual methods of osteopathic treatment applied to suit the needs of the individual patient.

Osteopaths can help improve everyday human movement and function by using hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, manipulation, stretching of joints and muscles, articulation, mobilisation of joints, and muscle energy techniques.

The main principle which guides us is an acceptance that every human body has the ability to auto-regulate and self-heal in order to achieve homeostatic balance when faced with the process of illness. The aim of osteopathic manual treatment is to assist the body to activate this mechanism.

As part of the holistic or ‘whole-person approach to health, osteopaths also recommend appropriate exercise programs, advice on posture, work-station ergonomic, and lifestyle changes to maximise your recovery, treatment, and management.

How Our Osteopaths at Essendon Can Help?

• Osteopathy searches for and treats the cause of pain and dysfunction of the system. This is different from many other forms of therapy that focus only on alleviating the symptoms. By eliminating the cause of the problem, reoccurrence can be prevented.
• Osteopathic treatment reduces pain and can help improve the function of the body by decreasing tensions and restrictions in your muscles, joints, and organs.
• The body has the ability to heal itself and auto-regulate when faced with illness. Osteopathy assists the body to activate this mechanism when it is unable due to the nature of the injury or other factors.
