What is Osteopathy?
Osteopaths are university trained, primary allied health practitioners. They are experts in the structure and function of the human body and are trained to assess, diagnose and treat musculoskeletal, visceral and neurological issues. Visit our Osteopaths in Murwillumbah today.
Our Osteopaths in Murwillumbah take a holistic approach to addressing the underlying problem of what is causing your symptoms and work with you to decrease your pain and prevent the issue from returning. Our mission is to empower you with the tools to not only feel better in the short term, but to understand what is causing your issue and know how to manage it in the long term.
We value time. Our appointment times are a little longer than average to make sure you have the time and space to relax and share your story. The more we understand you as a person, the more we can begin to understand your pain and discomfort and why you may be feeling that way. We are passionate about meeting you where you are at and creating treatment plans that works for you as an individual. There is no cookie-cutter approach here!
Treatment usually involves soft tissue release, muscle stretching, joint mobilisation, ligamentous balancing and nerve decompression techniques, aiming to reduce tension, improve circulation and increase range of motion. We also include education about your specific issue and individualised at-home rehabilitation programs to get you feeling back on track. There will be plenty of time for questions too so you can walk away feeling clear about what we are treating and why.

Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on approach to pain management and enhancing optimal function. Our Murwillumbah Osteopaths look at the body as a whole to determine what may be the underlying cause of your issue. They focus on finding the health within your body and supporting this to allow your system to find ease.

With the osteopathic principles in mind, your osteopath will create a treatment plan with you. This may involve hands-on techniques, education about your specific issue and at home exercises. The aim is to decrease your pain, improve your overall function and prevent the issue from returning.

Our Osteopaths in Murwillumbah use a wide range of techniques including soft tissue techniques, myofascial release, muscle energy technique, cranial, joint mobilisation and adjustments. This wide repertoire allows us to create a treatment style that best suits your body whilst gaining the best result possible.
What to expect from a consultation with our murwillumbah osteopath
History - Your first session will involved an in depth conversation about your medical history and history of your issue. It is a chance for us to understand you better and start forming an idea of what may be the specific issue. We will also make sure you understand what will happen during the consult and the in’s and out’s of what osteopathy involves.
Hands-on Diagnosis - We then begin a thorough whole-body assessment. This may involve range of motion testing, muscle testing, orthopaedic tests and neurological testing. This helps us form our working diagnosis. As we go, everything will be explained to you. We encourage questions too! The more you know about your body, the more control you have over your health.
Treatment - We will then work together to create a hands-on treatment plan tailored to your specific problem. This may involve muscle stretching, soft tissue release techniques, adjustments and ligamentous balancing. We utilise many kinds of techniques. It’s important you are as comfortable as possible and we will happily ensure we find an approach the best suits you whilst gaining the best results.
