Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare focused on the musculoskeletal system, including your joints, muscles and movement. At Bond Osteopathy, every consultation takes a whole-body view to understand what is driving your symptoms, rather than only treating the sore spot.

What osteopathy involves

Consultations typically include a thorough case history and physical assessment. From there you receive a clear explanation of what we find, and a management plan tailored to your presentation and goals.

Common presentations

• Low back pain and neck pain
• Neck-related headaches
• Postural and desk-related pain
• Shoulder and rotator-cuff related pain
• Sciatic-type pain and lower-limb nerve symptoms
• Hip, knee and ankle pain
• Sports and activity-related injuries

Techniques we may use

Treatment is tailored to you, and not every technique is used in every session. Where appropriate, this may include soft tissue techniques, articulation, muscle energy technique, joint techniques, dry needling, cupping, and stretching or mobility work.

This is not an exhaustive list. Osteopathic care may be suitable for a range of musculoskeletal presentations, and suitability is determined after assessment.
