Your Body. Your Health.

Are you suffering from a sore back or neck, or trying to deal with a sporting injury? If so, Osteopathy may help you!

Osteopathy is a hands on approach to health care which recognises the link between the structure of the body and how it functions.

It is a holistic therapy in that all bones, joints, muscles, nerves, connective tissues and internal organs are taken into consideration during history taking, examination and treatment; the site of pain may not actually be the site of dysfunction.

As osteopathy is a form of manual therapy, hands-on treatment may include massage, stretching, repetitive movements, mobilisation and/or manipulation.

With long 45 minute treatment times, it allows us to take a detailed history of your complaint, thoroughly examine using active and passive movements and specific orthopaedic testing, and tailor a treatment to your needs.

For more information, or to arrange an appointment, call Dr Kendall Woodward (Osteopath) on 0421 825 350.
